SEPTEMBER

• Fertilize your lawn!  September is the ideal time for your fall fertilization and fall weed pre-emergent application.
• Plant your fall color.  Plant your fall color such as petunias marigolds, dianthus and zinnias in September for lovely color throughout the fall.. 
• Plan your spring bulb beds.  Many stores begin getting their annual spring bulbs in mid-September.  Be ready when they arrive to chill them yourself or have NHG chill them for you until it's time to plant later in the year.

OCTOBER

• If you didn't fertilize in September, go ahead and winterize your lawn with a slow-release fertilizer or organic compost. 
• Add compost and mulch to all flower and planting beds to prepare for winter.
• Purchase frost cloth to have on-hand for any unexpected cold snaps.  Being prepared for any type of weather in Texas is always a good thing!

NOVEMBER

• It's bulb planting time!  Plant your tulips, daffodils, and hyacinths now for beautiful spring time borders and beds.  Make sure to ask your nursery if the bulbs are pre-chilled, or allow for time to chill them yourself before planting.
• Plant wildflower seeds--it's your last chance before spring.

Remember to spread birdseed throughout the winter months.
