Week of October 23rd, 2010

Fertilize your lawn. This is the best time of year to do it. The one that you want to choose this time of year would have a ratio of 3:1:2; nitrogen, phosphorous, potassium.
Plant trees, shrubs, perennials, and herbs.
Continue planting wildflower seeds.
Continue planting vegetable seeds and transplants.
It's not too late to divide iris and other perennials.
Plan how you're going to protect marginal plants and cold-tender vegetables. Take cuttings of summer annuals or cold-tender favorites that you'd like to preserve.
