Welcome to my new blog! I'm really excited about starting this means of communication for my Real Estate business as well as sharing helpful "Tips and Tricks" I've learned about Gardening along the way.


My first article is about Gardening. With Fall fast approaching (Sunday September 23rd), it's time to start tidying up things here in NH and prepare for the eventual snow that will blanket all of our green grass and flowers!


September Gardening Tips:

  • Fertilize your roses one last time

  • Fertilize lawns to stimulate winter root development

  • Now is the time to patch those bare spots, just remember to keep the seeds wet!

  • If rain is still lacking, remember to water so that your lawn and gardens receive 1" per week.

  • Transplant herbs into pots to bring indoors for winter use.

  • Remove and compost spent annuals and fallen leaves.

  • Cut your perennials that are starting to die back and if the foliage has any disease DO NOT COMPOST them! Put them into a garbage bag and removed to the dump instead.

  • Plant Spring-flowering bulbs, but wait until late October to plant tulips or they'll sprout too soon.

  • Sow parsley, radish, lettuce, carrots and onion in your garden for later fall harvest.
