Fall is for Gardening

Greetings! 
Young costume parade winner

 

This month we welcome fall, celebrate the harvest, decorate and carve pumpkins for Halloween, and create all sorts of yummy recipes with them. The summer's heat is over and cooler temperatures are here.

 

October is a great month in the garden too! It's a great time to take a fresh look around your garden, find tired perennials that need to be cleaned up, or divided and transplanted.  Do you have herbs that you'd like to harvest and preserve to use in the winter? Now is the time!  Learn about drying herbs. You may want to overwinter your herbs indoors. Learn more. . . 

 

Plant a fruit tree now, and have fruit next summer.  Take advantage of the great 50% OFF fruit tree sale.  We have just a few left!  October is a great time to plant trees, shrubs, roses, perennials, and fruit trees.   

 

It's still too early to winterize roses; wait until the soil has cooled.  Winterizing them now will trap warmth in the soil, preventing them from going dormant and causing winter damage.    
 
Don't miss the Annual Scarecrow Festival, Thursday, October 18th.  It's a fun event. 

 

Our staff is here to answer any of your gardening questions and help you find solutions to your floral and gardening needs.
  

Happy fall gardening,

Vicky

October Gardening  

  

Changing the garden from summer to fall presents a wonderful activity during a special time of the year. Fall gardens provide opportunities for enjoying the warm days and cool nights. 


Fall is for planting  

Plant new perennials, trees and shrubs. Transplant existing trees and shrubs as needed.  Divide perennials and replant them, cutting back blooms and foliage.

 

This is a great time to plant shrubs that will add beautiful fall color to your landscape. 

  

Deep soak trees and shrubs.

Healthy plants can withstand the rigors of

winter.  The best way to insure you have healthy plants is to make sure they have ample water in their system going into winter.   

Deep soak them weekly until the ground freezes.  Give special care to the trees and shrubs you planted this spring and summer. Their roots are not out in the natural soil. Make sure to get the original root ball soaked.

 

Fertilize your lawn.

Fall is absolutely the most important time to fertilize your lawn. Fertilizing with Ferti-lome Winterizer in late fall will build a strong root system that can withstand the hazards of winter. The slow release formulation promotes a thicker lawn with minimal top growth, while your lawn stores valuable nutrients for next spring.

 

Keep watering your lawn.   

You can water less often in cool temperatures. 

 

Mulch  

Apply mulch to the soil around beds to give plants a layer of protection.  This is a great way to keep the soil at an even temperature throughout the winter, reducing the chance of the freezing and thawing of the soil from causing the plants to heave out of the ground. It will also help retain moisture in the soil.  The sun beating down on bare soil in the winter will dry the soil quickly, causing plants to dry out.  They will thank you, come spring, by displaying healthy and hearty blooms and foliage.


Clean your garden beds from summer "leftovers". 
Pull dead annuals from containers and flowerbeds.  Deadhead flowers, foliage, vines and vegetables and pull annuals out of your garden bed. If you leave dead plants, you run the risk of inviting insects to nest and lay eggs, which will hatch in the spring.
 
Recycle Fall Leaves

Though the lawn needs less frequent mowing, it's a good idea to mow over the fallen leaves, gathering them into the mower collection bag. This chops them into smaller pieces so when you add them to the compost pile, they will break down quickly. Plus, it's an easy way to tidy up the lawn.   

  

Add Compost

Bare soil, where annual flowers and vegetables were removed, will benefit from compost. The organic material improves soil structure and helps replace nutrients. Turn the organic amendments into the soil to a depth of 4 inches or more.    

  

On your porch and patio  

Protect your furniture and grill. Slip-on covers will protect them during the winter.   

 

Container Gardening

Empty any clay, concrete, or ceramic planters.  Soil left in fragile containers will have moisture in it the will freeze and expand, which may cause the container to crack.  Make sure any container left outside over winter will not trap water.  If you can't store them in a protected place, turn them upside down or cover them so water can't collect in them.
