GARDEN TIPS: Come in today for a free copy of
garden hints from OSU Extension Faculty.
Here’s a couple from
Granny:
- Plant Fall (spring blooming) bulbs by Oct. 31
- When you plant tulips & daffodils, plant a few grape hyacinths. The grape hyacinths will emerge first and mark where the other bulbs are. Also, plant in clumps for a more natural looking bulb bed.
- Plant ground cover over the bulbs for beauty before your bulbs come up.
- Add some bonemeal for better flowers
- Plant Garlic between Oct. 1 and Oct. 31
- Plant lettuce, greens, broccoli, etc. NOW
- Plant some evergreen perennials for added winter interest. Ex. Helianthemum, wintergreen, plumbago and heuchera.
- Fertilize your lawn with granulated chicken fertilizer
- and of course.....cover your flower beds with out soil building compost
You’ll find granny in the garden or the kitchen
for the next few weeks.
