September-2020 Update

Just a reminder that September’s membership meeting, including the potluck, has been cancelled.   We will be   removing  the DeRivera Park hanging baskets on Thu., Oct. 15th.  Check the October Gazette, our website or Facebook page for more details.
 
As  autumn approaches, here’s a quick tip for perennial gardens.  Fall is a great time to divide and transplant  perennials.  Each division and  transplant should  be treated as a new planting, and a root booster/stimulator should be applied to boost the root system over the winter, for a strong start in the spring. Other perennials do not need to be fertilized in the fall if they are done with their blooming/growing  season.  If  they are plants still  actively  growing in the fall  such as mums, anemones, asters, these can  be  fertilized in early  fall.  Then, apply fertilizer to perennials in the early spring and early summer.
