[quote=Anonymous]I would get some compost/leaf-gro and try to mix it in anywhere you think you might be planting new trees, bushes, etc in the spring. Improving the soil is the most boring, but most important long-term task. If you have the space, pick a corner to compost your leaves. For bulbs I would largely stick to varieties of daffodil bulbs. The deer eat the tulips on my street (in NW DC), but don't care for the daffodils. They come up year after year too. The crocus and snowdrops are nice, and largely ignored by the deer (have to plant them deeply or the squirrels will dig them up!). Fall is the best time to plant bushes and trees around here - if you do it in the spring be sure to have a good watering system set up.[/quote]
