September Gardening Tip Sheet Is Ready

August 31, 2013 by Jeanne

Groucho as a kitten, hiding in the mums last September

Time to get those sweaters out from the back of the closet, sharpen your pruning shears, and get ready for fall! September’s free gardening tips sheet is now available on Seven Oaks.  I have them listed on our Monthly Gardening Task page.

Chrysanthemums are now plentiful in the stores, and in the weeks ahead, I’ll share with you tips on growing mums in the home garden. If you really want to be adventurous, consider growing mums for exhibition; the Chrysanthemum Society of America offers local competitions where you can compete for ribbons and prizes based on the flowers you raise.

September is also when our annual Five County Fair comes to Farmville, and I have my canned goods and counted cross stitch completed this year ready to enter. I’m debating entering some of my photography, but I’m not sure what the presentation rules are; if I have any fresh vegetables, I’ll enter them as well. I love the fair. It’s a lot of fun, and I especially enjoy the displays, the competitions and the animals.

Fall is almost here…are you ready? Download my free gardening tip sheet today.

Watermelon in the Home Garden

Growing watermelon in the home garden is not for the faint of heart. I have plenty of room, and it still threatened to take over the garden. You will either need to leave a lot of room for the sprawling vines or look for varieties specifically marked for containers. Growing it on a trellis is…

Growing zucchini in raised beds ensures that this prolific vegetable has the best conditions to thrive. You can grow zucchini in pots or containers, but I prefer growing it in raised beds.
