THE RESTLESS GARDENER:
September Tasks
September can be perfect for getting caught up on yard work. The weather is still comfortable and many of our summer activities are winding down. Here are a few suggestions for your gardens. - Fertilize and aerate an existing lawn in the fall for strong spring growth. September is also a good time to establish a new lawn.
- Divide perennials such as lilies, peonies, iris, hosta, and Shasta daisies.
- Plant new trees and shrubs (or transplant existing plants) and keep watered.
- Stake tall flowers to protect from autumn winds.
- Plant autumn bulbs such as daffodils, hyacinth, and crocus for additional spring color.
- Harvest potatoes when the tops die down.
- Mulch carrots, parsnips, and beets for winter harvesting.
- Protect tomato plants or ripen indoors if threatened by frost.
- Control slugs as needed.
