Early November may not be too late though, especially for tulips which can be planted as long as the ground isn’t frozen too hard.
Here are some tips to remember:
Then sit back and wait for spring!

Looking for a unique activity this weekend? Head over to the Mall of America in Bloomington. There is a unique competition going on.
Called “Canstruction”, architect students are competing to see who can build the best structure. But these aren’t just any structures. They are made out of cans. Regular cans of corn, fruit cocktail, SpaghettiO’s, and everything else you can think of!
Beginning today, the competitors have 12 hours to create the most creative and intricate designs they can. Judging of the competition will be Sunday afternoon.
Here is a quick video I found on YouTube showing an entry in a similar Canstruction competition in Canada. Enjoy!
The designs will be deconstructed on Monday and the food donated to the Second Harvest Heartland food bank in St. Paul. Last year the competition raised nearly 20,000 pounds of food!
Want to contribute to the competition and the food drive? Be sure to bring along some canned goods with you when come. These can be delivered to the Sears Court stage throughout the event.
For more information on this competition, visit the Canstruction website.
