September Maintenance Tip

It is September, and now what to do? The nights are cooling off, the days are still very warm, and the vegetable garden should needs a makeover.


September is a the best time to fertilize your shrubs and perennials. Use Medina Hasta Gro or a Liquid Seaweed. Also fertilize your lawn with Hasta Gro Lawn, Compost, Compost tea, Liquid Seaweed.

If you are interested in overseeding your lawn, apply Rye Grass seed at the end of this month and water it in at least three times a week.

It is time to turn over a new leaf in your vegetable garden, so remove the summer producers, add some new compost into the top 2" of your soil, and slightly turn in. Then make your rows. I would plan out your garden before planting because some veggies do not like to planted next to others. Here are the ones you should consider:

Broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, cabbage, Chinese cabbage, chard, collards, endive, kale, lettuce, mustard, cilantro, dill, fennel, parsley, Borage, caraway, chamomile, chervil, chives, cilantro, dill, fennel, parsley, summer savory.
