Retaining walls, sprinkler systems, fences and raised beds are less painful projects this month.
Wind chimes play melodic tunes in the garden with the help of fall breezes.
Hang chimes in both front and back garden areas. Rinse them and stack on the potting bench or in the garage. Early this month, plant lawns. Aerating and dethatching lawns is an October tradition. Dig them up and extend your flower beds or vegetable garden areas.
