Fall Gardening Tips
The fall is slowing creeping in. We have been dealing with warm days and cool nights here in Houston, Texas. Sometimes the chaotic weather can wreak a little havoc on our plants and lawn. Here are some gardening tips for the cooler fall months;
-Flowers planted for spring can begin when the temperatures are going to stay cooler.
-This is a good time to plant shrubs and trees. Woody plants concentrate on root growth through the winter and prepare them for the long dry summers.
-Mid October is a good time to divide and plant daylilies. 
-Rose bushes can be cut back now for fall blooms. Be sure to cut away all dead stems and leaves – they could disease the rest of your rose bush. You should get lush blooms well into December, up until the first frost (some of the finest of the year). Once temperatures have cooled down a bit, transplant any rose bushes you have growing in pots.
-Cut back the tops of perennials after they have bloomed. Divide the roots and transplant anytime from now until March. October through early November is the best time to plant new perennials. 
-For color through the winter, begin planting Pansies, Snapdragon, and/or Dianthus.
-If you’re noticing brown patches in your St. Augustine grass, what you may be seeing is a fungus that is activated by the moist cool weather. You can control this with Daconil.
-If you love the look of a green lawn, November would be the time to throw out rye grass. Not only will you have a beautiful lawn throughout the winter, but rye grass stabilizes any bald spots from excessive soil erosion. Of course, be prepared to keep mowing….
-Do your pruning now to allow the re-growth before it gets too cold. Prune your fruit trees when leaves begin to fall. Remove all the dead, weak, and overcrowded growth. Tip the branches back to control size & shape. When temperatures hit between 30-60 degrees, spray with dormant oil.
-Broccoli, green beans, squash and carrots do well if planted now.
-Set your ant bait now to help reduce the spring population.
