Make a compost bin if you don’t have one.
As stem and foliage of perennial flowers and ornamental grasses begin to die off, consider leaving them standing through the winter.
Use PPE equipment when doing landscape chores. Eye protection, hearing protection.
If you’ve never tried battery powered lawn and garden equipment, take a fresh look at the offerings. Battery tech has improved significantly and the equipment is very quiet.
Harvest sweet potatoes before frost.
Be sure to remove gas from any equipment that will not be used over the winter.
If you have areas in your garden or lawn that don’t produce well take a soil sample you may have a pH problem or a nutrient deficiency.
Consider doing some basic maintenance to lawn and garden power equipment before storing for the winter so you’ll be ahead of the game next spring. Oil change, spark plugs, air filters, etc.
Have your frost protection materials organized and ready for when we have our first frost.
Planting time is now! Add new trees and shrubs to your landscape.
