This Month in the Garden: SEPTEMBER
- This is the best time to re-seed, and fertilize fescue lawns again.
Using an aerator over your lawn will give you better growth and germination. Use a slow release fertilize
at this time.
Bring
in plants to be kept for next year (houseplants, Boston Ferns, geraniums, etc.) before night temperatures fall below 50 degrees.
Also dig up any bulbs that will not make it through our winters (Caladiums, Elephant ears, Etc.) You should dry these bulbs
and store them in a cool (above freezing), dry, dark place.
Begin to plant cool season vegetables (lettuce, broccoli, cauliflower, greens, etc.)
