Apply Pre-Emergents Now

Nothing is more noticeable than a sprinkling of winter grasses throughout an otherwise dormant lawn in January. Now is the only chance you will get to prevent this. From now through early September (first week), an application of Dimension herbicide will stop grassy weeds from germinating this fall. If broadleaf weeds are also a problem, an application of Gallery herbicide will prevent those from coming up. With any pre-emergent herbicide, watering the product in is required to activate it. Come in and we can explain the products and their applications. Be sure to know the area of your lawn (not the lot size) when you come. Google Earth is an excellent tool for measuring the area of your lawn if you are uncertain of its size.

New fall color plants are arriving this week and will continue to come in throughout the fall. Enjoy mums, celosia, ornamental grasses, marigolds, petunias, pentas, and crotons for outstanding shows of fall colors. Pair with beautiful fall blooming perennials and shrubs such as autumn sage, four-nerve daisy, Turk's cap, abelia, and Texas sage. Beautiful fall beds start now.

Swiss Chard

Garden seeds are in stock and our first shipment of cool season vegetable transplants arrives sometime on Wednesday--here just in time for planting in your garden. Late August through early September is the time to plant cool season fall vegetables. Enjoy a fall garden filled with broccoli, cabbage, kale, lettuce, Brussel's sprouts, greens, spinach, turnip, carrot, radish, Swiss chard, and more. Plant now and harvest before winter arrives. When picking out your cool season seed and transplants, don't forget to stock up on fertilizer too. Cool season veggies produce best when well fertilized--the goal is to complete production before cold winter temperatures arrive.

The end of August through first week of September is the time to make the fall application of pre-emergent. Applications made later than September 10th will result in diminished effectiveness and poor weed control. Lawns that have not been fertilized in the last eight weeks should be fertilized in early September. Continue mowing at the correct height for your type of lawn and irrigate as required.
