    Lawn Tips

  • Remove sticks, stones, and other debris from the lawn.
  • Continue to mow your lawn as long as the grass is actively growing. It is recommended that centipedegrass lawns be mowed at 2 inches prior to the first frost.
  • Lawns respond best to feedings in the fall. If you only feed your lawn once a year, do it in the fall. Check the Scotts® Annual Lawn Care Program for right product for your lawn and the right time to apply it. Carpetgrass and centipedegrass should NOT be fed at this time.
  • Fall presents a great opportunity to eliminate weeds in your yard. Spot treat weeds with Ortho® Weed-B-Gon MAX®. For St. Augustinegrass, use Ortho® Weed-B-Gon® Spot Weed Killer for St. Augustine Lawns.
  • Water centipede and St. Augustinegrass lawns as needed, but do not overwater, as that will encourage disease.
  • If leaves are falling on your lawn, rake or blow the leaves off or mulch them on the lawn with the lawnmower. Chopping them up into dime-size pieces will allow them to settle down between the grass blades and decompose over the winter.


    • Garden Care

  • It's time to bring in any houseplants you had outdoors during the warmer months. Be sure to carefully inspect plants you are transferring indoors.
  • Remove spent annuals from your garden. Pull them out or cut them off at ground level and leave the roots to decompose and add organic matter to the soil.
  • Plan for the first frost in your garden and protect your plants.
  • Cut back herbaceous perennials (such as peonies, irises, yarrows) you do not want to leave standing over the winter. Leave an inch or two of stem sticking up above the crown to help you find them in the spring. Perennials with strong stem sand decorative seedheads (such as black-eyed Susans and 'Autumn Joy' sedum) can be left standing to provide texture and form to your winter garden.
  • Also leave perennials such as lavender, sage, Russian sage, and thyme that set next year's growth buds above ground on woody branches.
  • Do not cut down ornamental grasses until late winter or early spring.
  • Clear dead plants, fallen leaves, and other debris from the "floor" of your garden. This yard waste can harbor diseases, rodents, or eggs of insects.
  • Cut a clean edge where landscaping and flowerbeds meet the lawn. There are lawn edging tools made just for this job, although a spade (especially with the edge sharpened) works well. Edging is easier if done the day after rain or watering, when the ground is soft.


    • Houseplants

  • Filling your home with houseplants is a great way to garden year-round.
  • Cooler fall days are the perfect time to turn your gardening talents to your houseplants. Adding plants to any room will help create a warm and welcome feeling in your home throughout the winter.
  • Determine a spot in your kitchen to grow your herbs. Herbs need sunlight, so evaluate the available sunlight in the room and find a nice spot for them. It's best if the sunlight comes from an east-, south-, or west-facing window.
  • Do a little research to assist in selecting herbs for your kitchen garden. Try to select plants that you use frequently in your cooking. All-time favorites include parsley, sage, chives, and tarragon.
  • Don't forget to water and feed your other houseplants. Check to make sure soil is moist and all indoor plants are receiving an adequate amount of sunlight.
