Gardener’s To Do List - September

1. Bring indoor plants back into the house, checking to be sure that they will not carry pests or disease with them.
2. Remove faded annuals from pots and replace them with mums, kale, grasses or decorative gourds etc.
3. Protect tender vegetables from frosty nights to prolong harvest.
4. Plant or transplant evergreens, trees and shrubs on a cool, damp day; water well.
5. Top-dress, aerate and overseed to improve lawns.
6. Cut back spring-flowering perennials; divide and transplant.
7. Cut back herbs by 1/2; plant garlic.
8. Collect seeds; store in paper bags in a cool, dry place.
9. Turn compost.
10. Buy bulbs when selection is good and store in a cool place until planting time.

And a last little reminder by Cathy…

Get out there and enjoy your garden while the weather is still nice enough to do so!
