There's a time to sow and a time to reap. The garden calendar can remind you of monthly and seasonal gardening tasks. Fall Tips~
· Clean garden tools for winter storage. · Clean soil from tools and oil tools with moveable parts. · Sharpen lawn mower blades and pruners - or take them to a professional for sharpening. · Clean fallen leaves and debris from gutters and downspouts. · Store garden chemicals in a secure, dry place - away from kids and pets. · Turn off outside water faucets. · Drain garden hoses so water won’t freeze causing cracks and holes. · Bring in clay pots or garden ornaments as they can crack or break from fluctuating winter temperatures. · Rake leaves onto compost pile or mow for use as a plant protecting mulch. · Use pine needles, oak leaves or cedar chips to protect plants during winter months. · Cut back fall annuals like mums, asters and pansies after they bloom. · Trim tall grass away from trees and corners of your home to discourage small rodents from nesting there. · Get rid of weeds. By pulling weeds in the fall before they go to seed, you can reduce the number of seedlings next year. · Before bringing houseplants inside your home, make sure they are free from pests. · Finally, remember to enjoy one of nature’s most beautiful seasons while performing your fall gardening chores.
