​           Low Maintenance Doesn't Mean No Maintenance 
Don't forget that, technically, fall runs all the way to December 21st. Don’t be fooled by those super fast store seasons. I mean come on, Christmas stuff can at least wait until after Halloween!!! No matter, because as much as the stores like to push, Mother Nature does not like to be rushed. Just because it looks like Nature is starting to fall asleep, that doesn’t mean you should. There’s work to do and now is a great time to do it!

​        Water By Number If you haven't been paying attention you might not have noticed that our watering schedule has changed again. Generally in November you should really only be watering once a week. To the right is a list of how much to water the different types of plants and how often you should do it.

           Water when it's warm It's easier for water to get down into the ground and get absorbed by the roots when it's a bit warmer. So if you have a couple of warm days you might want to plan to water then. Different plants need different amounts of water to different extents, be sure to check your watering schedule to make sure it's right for them.

          Winterizing Your Pond Clean waterfalls, ponds and fountains for winter. Just a simple pond cleanup for the winter is all that is really needed at the moment. Something to make sure everything is in order for the winter months.
You may also want to set pond plants deeper in your pond, if needed, to prevent freezing. Keep the water flowing or use a deicer to allow gases to escape.

         To those who want to change up your yard, now is the time to do it! Because it is cooler, it is easier and more comfortable to do that landscaping job you’ve been thinking about getting done. You can add, change, or remove, gravel, flagstone, mulch, and plants. having it done now is great for whoever is doing the work as it's not too cold nor is it sweltering outside. Xeriscaping (example left) now also helps keep heat shock from effecting any plants you currently have, are planting, or transplanting, during this transition. Any new trees, shrubs, and perennials (plants that don't die after one year and continue to grow year after year) introduced to your yard also have sufficient time to establish their root system before that intense summer heat hits. There are a few exceptions to planting at this time of year so make sure to check what's available and appropriate for your needs.
