Autumn Arrived This Week

September 27, 2010
The autumnal equinox occurred on the Wednesday and we are officially in the autumn season. However, it certainly did not feel like it this past weekend. Hot dry days have once again arrived. It was so beautiful and clear.
With autumn comes the time to assess your garden. While I suspect most of you were not out gardening in the heat, you could still be making those lists of garden chores to be done. September and October are the optimal months to prune and thin and divide and to sow.
What new plants do you want to plant? Which of your existing plants need dividing? Which areas need fertilizing? Which garden beds need to be prepared and enriched?
A well tended and planned garden will add pleasure to your life, but also value to your property.
