COLOR YOUR WORLD!

Snow-white clouds scudding across skies of intense blue; Goldenrods dancing in the afternoon sunshine to the tempo of a gentle breeze; fuzzy Wooly Bears scuttling across roadways . . . . Nature is hinting that autumn is just around the corner. And soon, God will flick His paintbrush and splashes of orange, red, and gold will appear on hillsides, in meadows, in our own gardens. Without a doubt, autumn will be here in all of her radiant splendor and we will be wishing that October lasted five months instead of just one!

I have an idea for prolonging the colors of autumn for at least one more month: This autumn, when the trees in your garden or a nearby park are flaunting their colors, pack a picnic lunch, rally the kids (or grandkids), and head outside for a leaf-collecting adventure. Bring home the leaves you gather and place them between the pages of an old phone book (remember them?!). In a few weeks, as you set your Thanksgiving table, bring out the leaves and scatter them across your table for a spectacular second showing of autumn's extravagant colors!

(The leaves on the phone book shown below are more than ten years old and still look amazing!)

THE MONTH OF PAINTED LEAVES

"October is the month of painted leaves.
Their rich glow now flashes round the world.
As fruits and leaves and the day itself
acquire a bright tint just before they fall,
so the year near its setting.
October is its sunset sky;
November the later twilight."
~ Henry David Thoreau (American author, philosopher, naturalist, and poet; 1817 - 1862)

GARDEN TIME

"One of the many reasons why gardens are increasingly precious to us in this day and age is that they help us to escape the tyranny of speed.
Our skies are streaked with jets, our roads have turned into race-tracks, and in the cities the crowds rush to and fro as though the devil were at their heels.
But as soon as we open the garden gate, Time seems almost to stand still, slowing down to the gentle ticking of the Clock of the Universe."
~ John Beverley Nichols (English writer, 1888-1983)

IN OCTOBER

"There is no season when such pleasant and sunny spots may be lighted on, and produce so pleasant an effect on the feelings, as now in October."

GARDEN CARE TIPS FOR EARLY AUTUMN

The sunny, pleasant days of early autumn are perfect for getting outside to prepare your garden for the cold weather to come. The following garden care tasks can be done now:
~ Clean up dead perennials. However, only cut down perennials if they are brown. If they are green, they are still storing energy in the roots for next year's growth. (Remember, if it's brown, cut it down. If it's green let it be.)
~ Plant any perennials and grasses you've divided, shrubs you are relocating, or bulbs you want to add for spring color.
~ Do any final shaping of shrubs by hand, since shearing when the weather gets too cold may cause your plants to brown from "winter burn".
~ Contact Hanselman Landscape (or your irrigation installer) to blow the water out of your irrigation system so the hoses don't freeze and burst.
And as you spend time caring for your garden this autumn, take time to breathe deeply and enjoy the peace and beauty your garden offers every day of the year!

OCTOBER COLORS

"After the keen still days of September, the October sun filled the world with mellow warmth...The maple tree in front of the doorstep burned like a gigantic red torch. The oaks along the roadway glowed yellow and bronze. The fields stretched like a carpet of jewels, emerald and topaz and garnet. Everywhere she walked the color shouted and sang around her."
~Elizabeth George Speare, in The Witch of Blackbird Pond (American writer of children's historical fiction; 1908 - 1994)

AGING GRACEFULLY

With another birthday following too quickly on the heels of last year's celebration, I am reminded of the precious, yet fleeting, beauty of each passing day. One of my frequent prayers is that I may grow more lovely in spirit, more gracious in outlook, as I age. To that end, I am inspired by this elderly Japanese Maple--still vibrant, still stretching heavenward, still gracing those within its sphere of influence--despite its 270+ year-old history.

HERE'S TO OCTOBER

"Yet, I can face the winter with calm. I suppose I had forgotten what it was really like. I had been thinking of the winter as a horrid wet, dreary time fit only for professional football. Now I can see other things—crisp and sparkling days, long pleasant evenings, cheery fires. Good work shall be done this winter. Life shall be lived well. The end of the summer is not the end of the world. Here's to October…"
~A.A. Milne, "A Word for Autumn" (English writer and poet, creator of Winnie-the-Pooh; 1882 - 1956)

FALL IS FOR . . . FERTILIZING?

Most people fertilize their lawns in the spring, but did you know that fall is actually the best time to perform this task? Fall fertilization will help your lawn recover from summer stress and prepare for next year's growth. According to researchers and turf grass practitioners. "the application of nitrogen fertilizers in late fall results in lawns that are visibly greener in color through the summer of the following year . . . . " (http://www.greenviewfertilizer/com)

Applying nitrogen fertilizer to lawns during the months of September through December--while the grass is still green and growing--provides several benefits not realized by spring and summer fertilization:
1. Better fall and winter color;
2. Earlier spring green-up;
3. Increased shoot density;
4. Improved fall, winter, and spring root growth;
5 Enhanced storage of energy reserves within the turf.

Researchers and turf grass experts find these advantages far outweigh any disadvantages (snow mold injury and decreased cold tolerance) and heartily recommend applying nitrogen fertilization to lawns in the fall.

To give your lawn this head start on next year's color, growth, and health, call us today (717-653-12730). Sean will be happy to schedule a visit with you and a treatment for your lawn.

SEPTEMBER

"September is the month of maturity; the heaped basket and the garnered sheaf. It is the month of climax and completion. September! I never tire of turning it over and over in my mind. It has warmth, depth and color. It glows like old amber."
~ Patience Strong (British poet; 1907 – 1990)
