Many (such as crabgrass and nutsedge) are annual weeds that will be killed by frost, but seeds have already been dropped for next year's crop. Pre-emergent herbicides are best applied in late winter to prevent germination of the next crop of weeds. - Weeds in planting beds should be pulled when they are small so that seeds don't develop. Also, small weeds are often easier to pull, in particular when soils are damp. - With constant moisture and high humidity, this summer we have seen many cases of white to yellow, or orange slime molds (often identified as fungi) growing in mulch. This is caused by moisture and decaying organic material (such as hardwood mulch), and is more prevalent in shaded areas. Slime molds are harmless to neighboring plants, and usually are very temporary. There is no harm in scooping up and disposing of the slime mold, but it is not necessary. - October is the best time for planting spring bulbs such as daffodils, crocuses, and hyacinths. These are sturdy perennials bulbs that will return dependably every spring. Tulips are less dependable in our poorly drained clay soils. For best results these must be lifted, stored, and replanted each fall. - Alliums (ornamental onions) are exceptional, sturdy bulbs that are certain to put on a show. Flowers can be small or softball size. - Cooler temperatures and more consistent soil moisture give excellent results when planting trees and shrubs in October and November. Lawns should be seeded as early as possible while soil temperatures are warm. Broadleaf evergreens such as hollies and laurels are best planted before regular freezing temperatures, which are rare before the start of December. Planting can be done in December, but the risk becomes greater if temperatures become unusually cold. | | _____________________________________________________________________ |  | Call now for your free Lawn Renovation estimate Contact us today, our schedule is filling quickly.

Oakleaf and mophead hydrangeas nestle tightly beside an 'Okame' cherry, with little space to access for maintenance through crossed branches. Somewhat worse than the typical mess in this garden, but considerable effort would be required to weed out volunteer seedlings, and why, with such delightful berries? Here, the yellow flowered Passion flower vine (Passiflora lutea) sprawls and climbs through the hydrangeas, then far up into the cherry's branches. In late summer, white berries of the beautyberry (Callicarpa dichotoma f. albifructa) seedling stand out against the mostly green background, though the white flowered 'Tardiva' hydrangea is nearby with blooms that are a month past their prime. | | | GREAT PEOPLE WANTED Meadows Farms is always on the lookout for great employees who enjoy working outdoors.
