This summer has been hot and dry and
although it may seem too soon, fall will be here before we know it! You’ve
probably already had it with your lawn - it's natural. As summer winds down, the tendency is to put
lawn care on the back burner until spring blooms anew. But by taking time to
put your yard and landscape “to bed” in fall, your lawn will reap the rewards.
Give your lawn a healthy start
next spring-follow along this week to learn some helpful fall tasks.
Divide
plants. If your perennials are overcrowded,
fall is an ideal time to divide the root ball and replant. Cutting back the
plants prior to transplanting can help reduce shock.
Plant
fall bulbs. Plant in fall to enjoy spring’s
first blooms - crocus, daffodil, tulip. The best time to plant is after the
first frost so the bulbs will stay cool all winter. Dig holes for bulbs and
fertilize before replacing soil.
