Fall is for Planting.  Plant trees, shrubs, evergreens and perennials. Use Ferti-lome Root Stimulator to promote growth and healthy root systems. Keep your newly planted or transplanted trees, shrubs, evergreens and perennials well watered until the ground freezes.

Dig and divide and replant peonies, irises and other spring blooming perennials.

Bring houseplants inside as the night temps start to dip below 50 degrees. Use Ferti-lome Indoor/Outdoor Spray a week before you bring them in to kill the bugs that come inside with your plants!

Aerate and dethatch lawns.

Before mid-September is the best time to seed your lawn.

Keep newly seeded or sodded lawns moist.

Fertilize existing trees and shrubs.

Remove tired old annuals and replace with the spectacular fall color of mums, asters, ornamental cabbage & kale, pansies and other fall annuals.

Hang birdfeeders and suet feeders for fall and winter enjoyment.

Continue to weed…fewer weeds this fall mean less weeds and weed seeds in the spring!

Bulbs are here! Plant spring flowering bulbs like tulips, hyacinths, daffodils, crocus and alliums, now. Bone meal or bulb food will help your bulbs get a good start.

Pot herbs now to grow indoors this winter. Liven up your winter cooking with fresh herbs from your window sill!

Make fall garden clean up easier by putting in a compost bin or pile. Remember not to put diseased plant material into your compost piles.

Improve garden soils by adding Alfalfa’s Secret, peat or compost now, saving you time in the spring.
