We hope you have stayed cool during the extreme heat this
summer. We heard from many of you about your stressed plants.
As we start our fall planting, the weather will be a little
more on our side. September is a great time to build your
fall garden and prep your outdoor tropicals to be moved
indoors. Move sun loving tropicals into more shady spots
to get them acclimated to the darker conditions of living
indoors through winter. Don't forget to check your plants
for any insects that might be hitchhiking.
Get rid of the
Grubs
Fall is also a great time to de-grub your flower beds for
next spring. Grub worms can be a real headache in your
garden by eating away at the roots of your plants. In the
winter, grubs will dig deep into the ground making it more
difficult to kill them in the spring. We recommend a good
insecticide like Grub Free Zone manufactured by Hi-Yield®.
Be extra cautious about the insecticide you choose, as
grub worms coexist with earthworms which are extremely
beneficial to your garden.
Cool Weather Colors
We're "over" the sun scorched brown look of summer!
September marks our official goodbye to summer and hello
to autumn. Cooler weather will bring truckloads of mums,
asters, pansies, snapdragons, and ornamental kale and cabbage.
These will keep your flower beds and containers looking
fresh right up to our first hard frost.
Trees and Shrubs
Fall is the best time to plant trees, shrubs, and start
your turf seeding. Planting now allows them the opportunity
to establish a strong root base before winter and give
them a head start next spring. Need help? Our landscaping
services can make adding trees and shrubs to your landscape
a whole lot easier.
Clean Up and Mulch
Digout those weeds! Cut back or remove dead, broken or
scorched foliage. Prep your beds by applying a good layer
of organic material. Apply mulch as needed to keep the
ground cool and retain moisture.
