It's getting a little cooler here in Texas...WooHoo!!!
-
Water deeply in early morning, or evening, and infrequently...as needed. Hopefully, with the rain chances increasing, you won't need to as often.
-
It's time to apply pre-emergent for weeds. I suggest Nature's Creation Corn Gluten Meal. You'll feel like you've walked through a yellow cloud, but you do get great coverage. Timing is important...Apply, water in a bit with your sprinkler system or time it with rain, and let it stay dry a few days after.
-
Fertilize your lawn and flowerbeds with Nature's Creation Fertilizer approximately 2 weeks or so after your pre-emergent treatment. Water in.
-
Contine to fertilize your planters this month 2x/month, at 1/2 strength. I use Garrett Juice Plus.
-
It's time to make your landscape dreams come true! It's a great time to plant!

What "To Do" in the Garden this Month:
I'm always amazed at how much there is to do in the garden, and so many times I feel a bit
overwhelmed with what I want to do versus what I can do. So, I make a list.
Lists are great; I absolutely love them!
But, always remember that God ordains our steps and His way will always be best.
I love to use the Dirt Doctor's "What to Do" as a guide.

Another great resource is Robert "Skip" Richter's book,
