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.

THIS WEEK IN THE GARDEN:
- Prevent any weeds from going to seed in your garden
- Build a small cold frame and enjoy fresh greens through the winter.
- Please compost leaves this year. They are a valuable compostable source to increase organic matter for your garden soil.
- If you have leftover garden seed, get it organized. Store in fridge for best results.
- If your lawn seems to have been scratched up with large holes in it you may have a skunk eating white grubs in your lawn. You can use motion sensor lights to scare the skunk away at night. Also use a grub control product to kill the white grubs in your lawn.
- Plant bulbs for early spring blooms. Look for large bulbs that are free of decay. Do you need bone meal?
- Soil samples are still free of charge to avoid the rush bring your samples to Cooperative extension today.
- Take stock of your pest control products and be certain they are safely stored for the winter.
