It is back to school time for most kids this week and this time of year always makes me excited about the upcoming fall and the cooler temperatures.
Last week, we discussed what needed to be done in the vegetable garden at this time of year but what else do we need to do?
September is a great time to feed your lawn - it will help growth next spring. You can also lay sod in October if you want to fill in some spots that didn't survive this summer.
Fall is also a great time to plant trees. The trees will grow roots throughout most of the winter and be much more prepared for the hot weather next summer.
You can also divide any plants that have gotten too large - Daylilies, Iris, Liriope, Ferns, Cannas and Amaryllis are examples of plants that are easy to divide.
You can add color to your landscaping beds this fall with some new perennials. For shade areas, Columbine and Turk's cap work well in the fall. For sun areas, Iris, Roses, Butterfly Bush, Lantana, Salvia, Santolina, and Copper Canyon Daisy are a few of our favorites to plant in the fall.
