Tips of the Week
- Cut back on fertilizing woody ornamentals that are cold tender. That includes figs. Setting these plants up to push new foliage endangers them for cold damage. Keep them adequately watered but let them wean off too much water.
- Give a final haircut (shear back by about a third) and fertilizer application to warm season flowers to keep them going until the first frost.
- Plant green beans. Plant squash if you do it right away.
- Prepare the soil to plant our fall/winter crops. Add compost and a slow-release fertilizer, to be ready to set them out in the next few weeks.
