What's New
The 2025 Gardening year is closing in on Fall!
Hopefully we are all still enjoying Summer,
with the peak of bloom and the abundant vegetable produce.
Now is the time to make note of what you want or need to do in the Fall run-up, or to wrap up before the garden season closes.
Try to finish any late fertilizing and mulching, and pay close attention and care with application instructions. Try to avoid late fertilizing.
If you have time and can identify an improvement project for Fall, it remains a good planting time, until frost arrives. If the time runs out, it is actually not too early to plan and speak to contractors now, ready for next Spring work....
If you want a late season display, there are great plants that only start to perform now, so note your favorites. It might be the Fall leaf color, or the bloom, or the fruit and berries...
And don't forget the plants that have high wildlife and pollinator support, they will thank you, and your garden will be healthier for all.
Anything you do plant in Fall, make sure to manage watering them until ground freezes, as their first year is critical to root establishment.
That's my cue to mention the favorite tool, the moisture meter:
Avoid any guesswork, and check when your plants need water, accurately.....
Hope these thoughts are helpful, and keep thinking ahead, and planning, but find time to enjoy the rewards of Fall days.
Enjoy this colorful season, and take a moment to enjoy the rewards.
Hope everyone found something new and wonderful for this Summer.
