September To Do List
Posted by Charles Breslin on
Week 1-2: Garden and Landscape Assessment
- Inspect Plants: Evaluate the health of your plants, trees, and shrubs. Look for signs of disease, pest infestations, or nutrient deficiencies.
- Soil Testing: Test your soil's pH and nutrient levels. This will help you determine if any amendments are needed before planting or fertilizing.
- Lawn Care: Plan to aerate, overseed, and fertilize your lawn to ensure healthy growth throughout the fall and winter.
Week 3-4: Planting and Maintenance
- Fall Planting: Choose and plant fall-blooming flowers like mums, pansies, and asters to add vibrant color to your landscape.
- Mulching: Apply a layer of mulch around your plants to protect roots from temperature fluctuations and conserve moisture.
- Pruning: Trim dead or overgrown branches from trees and shrubs to encourage healthy growth and shape.
Week 4-5: Seasonal Preparation
- Winterization: Begin preparing your garden for the colder months. Trim back perennials, remove annuals, and cover delicate plants with burlap if necessary.
- Fall Clean-Up: Rake leaves, remove debris, and tidy up your landscape to prevent disease and pests from taking hold.
- Hardscape Maintenance: Inspect and clean pathways, patios, and other hardscape elements to prevent slips and falls in wet weather.
