  • November Gardening Tips of The Month

    Turf

    For a green winter lawn overseed established Bermuda grass lawns from mid October through mid November.

    After the first mowing, fertilize winter lawns with a high phosphate fertilizer like superphosphate, triple superphosphate, or a complete fertilizer that is 20% phosphorous or more by weight. Ammonium phosphate (16-20-0) is another option. Follow the application rates and directions on the label.

     

    Vegetables

    Plant Seeds.       

    Beets, Bok Choy, Broccoli, Cabbage, Chinese Cabbage, Carrots, Cauliflower, Chard, Collard Greens, Endive, Kale, Kohlrabi, Lettuce (Head & Leaf), Mustard, Onions (Bulb & Green), Peas, Radishes, Rutabagas, Spinach, Turnips.

    Plant Transplants.

            Asparagus, Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts, Cabbage, Chinese Cabbage, Cauliflower, Chard, Kohlrabi, Lettuce (Head & Leaf).

    Watch for insect and pest problems, identify and manage early to prevent damage.

     

    Roses

    End the years fertilization this month.       

    Plant container roses from mail-order catalogs, old garden roses in particular.

     

    Fruit and Nut Trees

    Be prepared to protect citrus from early winter frosts.

     

    Landscape Plants

    Cut off spent blooms to stimulate rebloom.

    Water applications should be greatly reduced for the winter.       

    Plant winter hardy trees, shrubs and vines.

    Pre-emergent herbicides can be applied from October through early December for winter annual weed control. Follow the package directions carefully for best results. DO NOT use pre-emergent herbicides where you will be planting seeds this season.

    Be prepared for early winter frost.

     

    Don't List . . .

    Do not increase opportunities for fungal disease on turf by over watering or watering at night.       

    DO NOT OVER WATER which will result in root rots. Allow the soil to dry out between watering.
