Fall Colors

COMMENTARY

Flagstaff LEAF-o-meter for changing fall color updates for your ‘leaf peeping’ trip
Adding deciduous trees to home landscaping for fall colors
- Red push pistache
- Ash trees
Time for cool season bedding plants
- Geraniums, petunias, pansies and more
- Bulb type plants
Bedding plants of many colors give a fresh outlook on life

Potting Soils

COMMENTARY

Common mistakes instead of using potting soil
- Digging up garden soil and putting in pots
- Just using a compost or mulch
Biggest thing using pots is replenishing fertilization or nutrition
Potting soil in a pot used prior still good for new plants yet many have to add more soil
Used potting soil can be tossed in gardens so its not wasted
Avoid bagged potting soil, compost or mulch with an ammonia odor

Trees And Shrubs

COMMENTARY

Cooler soil and less water evaporation are perfect conditions for planting
Avoid planting frost sensitve plants until spring
Consider right size space for each tree and shrub to avoid future overpruning
Landscape functions as shade, edibles or both
Consider plants to attract pollinators

Soft Grass Season: Fall Lawn Transtion

COMMENTARY

Rye grass winter lawns are the best lawn
- Less water demand
- Enjoyable lawn for outdoor activities
Summer bermuda lawns hard to enjoy in the heat
Planting a fall lawn
- Cutting the current lawn short as possible
- Spread rye grass seed
- Cover with mulch or compost to hold moisture and grow faster
- Fertilize and water as needed
