September Garden Care

This is the best time for planting. So bring out your gardening gloves, have fun adding new plants in your garden and watch them grow this fall and in the spring. Plant new trees and shrubs early in the month so they have time to develop a good root system.

Divide perennials that bloom in the spring and summer. Now is a good time to divide peonies, daylilies and iris.

Apply broadleaf weed killers to lawn. Follow label directions.

Cut flowers for drying and be creative. Hang upside down, in a dry, well-ventilated area out of direct sunlight.

Bring houseplants indoors before night temperatiures drop below 55 degrees. Check for insects.

If the weather is dry, water plants deeply. Evergreens will especially need moisture in the soil for the winter months ahead.

Deadhead perennials. Remove and discard dead and diseased folage to reduce infection next year.

Spring flowring bulbs can be planted from September until mid-November.

Leave the last rose blossoms of summer on plants to encourage dormancy.

Birds are beginning to migrate south. Restock bird feeders and put out fresh water to help them on their long journey.
