Fall Garden

Now is the time you want to start planting your fall garden. Beans, beets, tomato, zucchini, pepper, squash, cucumber, Swiss chard, lettuce, eggplant, celery, strawberries and herbs should be planted now.

As the weather becomes cooler in the next few weeks you will want to start your cold crop. You will want to plant cabbage, carrots, peas, broccoli, brussel sprouts, butternut squash, acorn squash, radish and cauliflower.

If your limited on time and space you can still enjoy a Fresh garden. With the Easy Home Garden Kit you can plant a garden in as little as 30 minutes and with a space as little as 38"x38".

Getting Ready for Rye

Let's get your yard ready this weekend to plant Rye grass next weekend. Scalp your yard as low as your mower will go. If your seed can not get to the ground you will need to dethatch (meaning you would need to rent a dethatcher to remove excess grass,) so the seed can get to the soil to access nutrients to make your lawn healthier and greener.

Planting

You will want to start planting your Rye grass mid-September- October (weather permitting). A pound will cover 50-100 square foot depending on how thick you want your grass. You need to constantly keep your seed moist watering 3-5 times a day. A layer of mulch will help keep your soil moist between watering and New Lawn Starter will help with rooting.

Post Maintenance

You will need to water every 2-3 days depending on ground condition, fertilizing every 4-6 weeks and mowing regularly.
