IT’S ALMOST OCTOBER!
It’s the best time to plant trees, shrubs and ornamental grasses!
Each week, we’ll give you three tips on what to do in the garden during the month of October! Here’s this week’s tips:

Here’s this weeks three tips on what to do in thegarden during the month of October!

  • Keep dead-heading pansies. The more pansies are dead-headed, the more they bloom.
  • Consider planting frost-tolerant ornamental cabbages and kales. Their subtle colors and rose-like forms make a great substitute for summer annuals.
  • Sow seeds of hardy flowers outdoors now on well-prepared ground. They may also be sown in outdoor pots. Some will sprout hardy seedlings that will start growing in Spring. Others will sit underground until Spring before sprouting.

ASK THE GARDEN GURU!

IS FALL THE BEST TIME TO PLANT A TREE?

Another GREAT Question!

In this week’s archived episode from past seasons, the Garden Guru highlighted that Autumn stands out as perhaps the most favorable season for tree planting. During this period, as temperatures mellow, and a touch of humidity graces the air, trees find it considerably easier to establish themselves.

Lynn made it a point to bring something significant to the attention of our listeners – the realm of large trees! When we talk about large trees, we’re referring to those towering specimens reaching heights of 10 to 12 feet. In the world of horticulture, these trees fall under the category known as B & B. To uncover the meaning behind B & B in this context, have a listen to the Garden Guru’s tip below. And here’s a little hint: it’s not related to AIR B & B or anything to do with complimentary breakfast!

FALL IS FOR PLANTING! PART 2

Fall is a great season for planting hardy trees, shrubs, vines, perennials, and bulbs! Here are some great reasons why:

* Winds aren’t as much of a problem in the fall as they are in the spring, resulting in less dehydration, fewer staking problems, less leaf burn.
 
* Harmful insect populations are much reduced from spring and summer levels.

* The soil is still warm enough to stimulate root growth. The warmth stored in the earth all summer remains well into fall, but there is no stress from the blazing summer sun. Plants will get to establish roots during two seasons of moderate temperatures (now and spring) before having to face the stress of summer again. Root growth continues as long as soil temperatures in the top 6″ to 12″ of soil are above 38º and adequate moisture is available. Applying a thick (2″ to 3″) layer of mulch in early fall will keep the soil warm even longer. Be sure to leave a 2-inch gap between the mulch and the tree trunk. If it’s too close, mice can burrow under the mulch and chew a ring around the trunk which can cause serious damage to the tree.

ZODIAC SIGNS AND GARDENING? HERE’S THIS CYCLES PROFILE.

by The Old Farmer’s Almanac

Here’s THIS MONTHS ZODIAC SIGN PROFILE AND HOW IT CAN HELP YOU GARDEN:


LIBRA (SEPTEMBER 23 to OCTOBER 22)
Libra begins the fall. Because of your concern for beauty, flowers of all kinds abound in your garden. Color is important to you: Ranges from bright to subtle will be artfully placed throughout your decks and patios. You are not particularly fond of getting your hands dirty, so look for the local nursery truck to make frequent visits all summer long. Flowering bushes and trees will be tucked along fences and borders nestled in their beds of mulch. You always want to make a favorable impression; pansies and nasturtiums appear in your salads and roses, and lilies adorn your dining room table.
