- This is a good time of year to sow seeds, lay sod or renovate your lawn.
- Compost gardens.
- Fertilize lawn before winter
- Divide older perennials (spring bloomers) and replant.
- Time to plant spring bulbs such as anemones, tulips, daffodils, alliums, hyacinths for a longer blooming season.
- Deadhead blooming plants to make blooms last longer.
- Divide iris and replant - but do not plant too deep, they won't bloom.
- Monitor / adjust irrigation clock.
