The month of August is flying by and the end of summer is just around the corner! To prepare for the back to school months, and the upcoming fall, here are some to-dos to keep your landscaping and gardening up to date!
- Planning is always the fun part right? Start planning by ordering bulbs. Another idea is to take notes and draw out future garden plans.
- If rain is lacking in your area, be sure to water your plants down to the roots.
- August creates the perfect climate for weeds to overtake EVERYTHING! Be sure to keep up.
- Mow your garden to maintain the three inch rule! The end of your month is a great time to fertilize your lawn.
- Late August is a perfect time to plant grass!
- Stay on top of the pests! When there is one, there is many more.
- It’s a great time to put up hummingbird feeder if you haven’t already!
- Prune your summer flowering shrubs after they’re done blooming. While you’re at it, be sure to prune out any deadwood from your shrubs and trees.
- To get a jump on colour, plant your late season annuals!
- Lastly, be sure to clean up and organize your garage, potting or garden sheds. It’ll be great to be nice and organized for the fall.
