This is the Time for Fall Seasonal Tips

 
Seasonal Tips:
 
Time to adjust your irrigation controller, or turn it off ... if you are watering your lawn areas more than a couple times a week this time of year...you are overwatering (turn it off after rainy or cool weather begins).  Does your lawn look thin or patchy, show little growth and/or not deep green in color (typical this time of year after the summer season). Add seed to 'bare areas' and fertilize with a winter fertilizer (be sure to water in after application). Time to rotate annual summer flower color...replace with fall & winter color (i.e. snapdragons, impatiens, and cyclamen), cleanup dead leaves & prune back perennials (i.e. grasses, bulbs, summer blooming plants) & plant spring bulbs this month!!!!! You can also still get one
more bloom out of your roses....prune the spent flower buds, and fertilize with a rose food (seasons over when the first frost comes). Also, give your flowers beds and pots a boost by adding bone meal now.
