Town and Country Gardens Now is the most important time to fertilize your lawn. Use Fertilome’s Winterizer. Water it in after applying. Don’t forget to “blow-out” your automated sprinkler systems and undo hoses from the outside faucets. Buurrrr… winter is just around the corner!

Town and Country Gardens A GREAT IDEA from Kent Higgins.... I tried this approach to fill the spaces on my rock wall. These are Town & Country Strawberrys called Seascape. I get a yield into November. This works amazingly well to keep out the weeds. And it’s kinda cute.

Town and Country Gardens Dig gladiolus corms up if the foliage has been killed by frost. Shake off excess soil and sort the corms. Cut the stem just above each corm. "Preserve" corms for about three weeks in a warm, dry, airy place. Then place the corms in paper or cloth sacks. Store them in a well-ventilated place that's dry and cool. Then plant them again next spring!

Town and Country Gardens TIP: Cut fragrant flowers early in the day while they are full of moisture. Scent resides within the cells of the petals, so the higher the water content, the higher the amount of scent ingredient. Prolong the delight by displaying them in a vase that is set in indirect or low light.

Town and Country Gardens Hollyhocks produce seeds that fall around the parent plant and come up as volunteers the following spring. Removing the faded flower stalks now before the seeds drop to the ground will help reduce the spread of the patch to unwanted areas. (I know from experience! :)

Town and Country Gardens Hot weather causes the compost pile to go into overdrive, provided you keep it moist. So stop by with the hose every now and then and give it a good soaking. Then stir up the pile with a shovel.

Town and Country Gardens One of my favorite summer flowers is the Fleming Hibiscus. They may look tropical, but they are actually perennials- hardy to minus 30 degrees. And they have flowers as big as your hand. I took these pictures in the nursery this morning.
