Some days it doesn't feel like Summer over yet here is Johns Creek and Cumming, Georgia, but it may be time for you to start thinking about andfall-988024_1920.jpg considering what you need to do to get things tidied up and ready for the transition to Fall so you aren’t overloaded with work at the last minute.

 

The key to being prepared for when the temperatures start coming down is to be consistent with your care. Taking the time, at the very least monthly, to do a good weeding, and thinning or pruning of plants through the summer prevents a buildup of work at the end of summer. It also helps make sure that you are getting a good yield of crops from your plants throughout the summer!

The next thing you want to do is to clear out the plants that are only summer plants and are dying off with the cooler weather. Take care to dispose of any plants that are diseased or infested instead of letting those become part of the soil and spread those things next spring. If you have any tender plants that are still doing pretty well, take care to cover them and protect them from cooler nights they might not survive otherwise.

 

Remove all the discarded plant and fruit or vegetable debris from your garden area and dispose of it properly to avoid spreading any diseases or contaminating the soil with pests you had in another area of your lawn. This is a great time to condition the soil and take the time to use a rototiller to soften up the soil for next year.  

 

If you are planning on planting some fall plants in your garden or flowerbed areas, do the research on what ones you want to include and how to properly take care of them. It is also worth some research to find any plants you may need to plant the bulb before this winter to bring about fruit next spring.

 

Depending on your fertilizer type and schedule, you may want to fertilize your garden area as the fall approaches. It is a great idea to have your lawn and garden fertilized and taken care of by a professional lawn agency to ensure the best results. Professionals can distinguish what types of fertilizers are best for your needs and what your lawn and garden need before being put to bed for the winter months if you have a warm season lawn.
