Seasonal Ideas & Information For November |
|
|
Vegetables and Herbs - Continue to plant arugula, bok choy, broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage, chard, collards, lettuce, mustard greens, kale and more! When planting transplants, water them in with a soluble organic fertilizer solution to get them off to a good start. Continue a light application of organic fertilizer every few weeks. Watch for pests, such as aphids and caterpillars. Sprays of insecticidal soap will control aphids and sprays or dust containing Bt will control caterpillars. |
|
Perennials & Annuals - It's time to plant alyssum, cyclamen, mums, pansies, snapdragons, violas and ornamental cabbages. If you haven't done so already, work some compost into the soil before planting. |
|
|
|
Cyclamen
red, white, purple or pink
|
|
|
Trees, Shrubs & Vines - This is the best time of the year to plant woody ornamentals! This is also the best time to move a plant already growing in the landscape. Stop in and let is help you select a beautiful shrub or tree for your Fall landscape. Our landscape department will be happy to plant for you. Give us a call to schedule. |
|
Timely Tip from Texas Gardener |
"This is leaf season! Those fallen leaves contain 75% of the nutrients that the tree took up during the year. Now they are laying on the ground, and you have to decide whether to recycle that free, organic fertilizer back into the soil by composting and/or mulching or pay someone to haul the nutrients and mulch away. Serious gardeners never let a leaf leave their property and, in most cases, not their neighbor's either! Isn't it nice of folks to bag their leaves and put them out front for us to come by and pick up? Stockpile the leaves for composting and mulching throughout the year until next leaf season arrives." |

St. Augustinegrass Home Lawn Maintenance Calendar |
|
|
|
It is most effective to apply Milky Spore in the early Fall or Summer. The soil must be above 65 degrees Farhenheit when the grubs are actively feeding, which is the best time for application. It works best to apply just before rainfall , or water in lightly after application to soak into soil.

6 REASONS WHY FALL IS FOR PLANTING
Here are 6 reasons why you should fit some time in between watching football games and pulling out the holiday decorations to plant your trees, shrubs, bulbs and perennials.
1. Warm soil+cool air = happy plants
2. Less insect pest and disease pressure
3. Less water stress
4. Planting is more pleasant
5. Plants have a head start for next spring
6. Better drought tolerance
Or you can let us do the planting for you!
Just give us a call 409-763-4713 ...... we'll be there!

New Items - Coconut Bowls
A single coconut tree can yield an average of 75 coconuts annually. Since every discarded coconut shell can produce 2 bowls, 150 coconut bowls are made per tree per year.
That means one coconut tree (that we don't even have to cut down) can produce enough bowls to replant 15 new trees per year!
