October is a pivotal month for gardeners, offering the perfect window to prepare your perennials, shrubs, trees, and lawn for the upcoming winter season. In this edition of our monthly Garden Tips blog, we’re diving into the must-do tasks for each of these four garden elements.
Caring for Perennials
October is your last call for planting perennials before winter sets in. These plants need adequate time to establish their root systems, so it’s best to get them into the ground early in the month. If you’ve been meaning to divide and replant your peonies, wait until the first frost has killed off the tops. Here’s how to go about it:
Dig Carefully: Excavate around the plant, ensuring you don’t damage the underground roots.
Divide: Cut the clump into smaller pieces, each containing at least 3-5 eyes.
Soil Preparation: Enrich the top 12 inches of soil with compost.
Replant: Set the divisions back into the ground, keeping the eyes 1-2 inches below the soil surface.
Shrub Maintenance
Fallen leaves are a gardener’s treasure. Spread them around your shrub and perennial beds for an extra layer of winter protection and a natural source of nutrients as they decompose. However, diseased leaves should be discarded or buried to prevent infecting new growth in the spring. For potted shrubs, consider moving them to an unheated garage or an enclosed porch for the winter.
Tree Planting and Transplanting
October’s cooler temperatures make it an excellent time for planting or transplanting trees. Aim for a time when the tree has shed its leaves and entered dormancy. If you’re dealing with large or special trees, it’s wise to consult a professional who can handle the task with the proper equipment and expertise.
Lawn Care Tips
Your lawn is far from dormant, even if it appears that way. In fact, the grass is busy developing a more robust root system. Capitalize on this by:
Leaf Mulching: Use your lawn mower’s mulch setting to shred fallen leaves and enrich your lawn.
Late Fertilization: A late-season fertilizer application will help your lawn store the energy it needs for the winter months ahead.
By following these October garden care tips, you’ll be well on your way to ensuring a vibrant and healthy garden come springtime.

Expand your garden horizons this season with confidence. Now is the perfect time to give your iris poppies and other spring blooming perennials a fresh start by digging and dividing them. Enhance the health of your perennial gardens by mulching them, using evergreen needles to maintain a cool and moisture-rich environment.
Remember to skip fertilizing to ensure their survival during the winter months. Watering is crucial, especially for new plantings, so aim for about an inch of water per week. And don’t forget to continue deadheading to prevent reseeding and extend the blooming period. Embrace the possibilities and nurture your garden’s growth.
Shrubs
September is an opportune time to strategically plan for a vibrant fall color palette in your garden or landscape. Consider incorporating shrubs with rich hues, such as Barberry, Burning Bush, and Viburnum for shades ranging from red to orange. For a touch of purple, Dogwood is an excellent choice, while Roses and Witch Hazel can add a burst of yellow to your garden.
To maintain a healthy environment for your shrubs, it’s essential to clear out your shrub beds. This not only eliminates habitats for unwanted animals but also minimizes the risk of damage to adjacent plants. Make sure to remove fallen leaves and dead foliage, as this proactive measure can help prevent disease in the upcoming growing season.
For rose enthusiasts, allowing the blooms to remain on the plants can offer added winter protection. However, it’s advisable to refrain from fertilizing any newly planted shrubs until the following spring.

Trees
As with shrubs, if mulch hasn’t already been spread now is a good time. Mulching helps prevent moisture loss and since August is usually a hot month, applying a 2-to3-inch layer around the base of your trees, making sure that you taper the mulch away from the base, will be beneficial.
Allowing the mulch to pile up against the bark, otherwise known as the volcano effect, causes the bark to stay moist. The softening of the bark as a result of the constant moisture can lead to disease and eventually kill the tree. Although the addition of mulch will help prevent moisture loss, sometimes it may be necessary to lay a hose with a slow but steady water flow, about a foot away from the trunk, for about 20-30 minutes.
However, wilted leaves aren’t always a sure sign that a tree needs water if the tree has been watered on a regular basis. As the temperature and humidity change, leaves draw water from the root system to release through their pores. When the sun gets too hot, leaves can’t take up and release water fast enough, and they wilt.
Lawn
Looking to Sow Grass Seed? September is Your Ideal Month! Whether you’re starting a new lawn, patching up bare spots, or renovating an existing lawn, September offers the optimal conditions for grass seed planting. The combination of cooler temperatures and warm soil creates an ideal environment for quick germination and strong root establishment before winter arrives.
However, it’s advisable to complete your planting by September 20th. Planting later than this date is considered late-season sowing, and the grass may not have enough time to establish itself before winter, risking potential damage or loss.
Take advantage of September’s favorable conditions to give your lawn a lush, healthy start.

August is a great time to separate perennials in your garden such as Hosta’s, Irises’ and Daylilies. When digging up, make sure you do not damage the root ball of the plant, separate with a small knife or spade and replant in other areas. Next, get out there and get the weeding done as perennial weeds can produce thousands of seeds that may hamper the next growing season and be difficult to eliminate.
Shrubs
Ever heard the expression, “Killing with kindness”? Without meaning to, sometimes people while watering, do just that. When outside, take a moment to check all plants for signs of water stress. Plants that are over watered will suffer root rot, while shallow-watered plants will be more susceptible to drought.
If mulch wasn’t already replenished this season, replenish with a 2-to-3-inch layer. Do not bury the crowns.
Since August is typically a warmer month, hold off on applying fertilizer. It will be safer to fertilize in the cooler months.

Lawn
Have you noticed your lawn mower getting clogged up with grass clippings? After a few months of mowing regularly, it is important to check on the undercarriage of your mower.
New models now have convenient areas to attach a hose. Once the hose is connected, turn it on and wait while the water flushes out the season’s clippings.
If your machine doesn’t have that availability, then you will have to either remove the mower deck or if using a push mower, just turn to its side and scrape off the caked-on clippings.
