- Continue planting spinach, lettuce, radishes, arugula, Asian greens, kale, and collards.
- Keep up your inspecting for pests
- Houseplants that have been vacationing in the backyard should be brought in by mid-month. Give
them a good blast of water all over before bringing them in to help remove freeloading insects.
- Make preparations for mulching your beds for the winter.
- Divide and transplant plants that flower in the spring, while fall flowering ones should be done in the
spring. Cut back top to 4-6" to reduce transplant stress.
- Pumpkins, summer squash, and gourds to be stored should be harvested before the first frost.
- Fall is a good time for improving your garden soil.
- Get any cover crops you want to use in by mid-month.
- Fertilize roses for the last time this year.
- Dig, divide, and move daylilies after they have completed their bloom.
We love our customers, so feel free to visit during normal business hours.
