Written by David W Marshall, Leon County CES Edited by Allen B Tyree, Hamilton County CES- Our weather should be quite nice now and we don't need to worry about freezes until' late November. Much of what we do this fall prepares our gardens for spring.' It often turns dry this year. When weekly rainfall isn't received, younger shrubs and. trees benefit from half to three-quarters inch of water once a week and newly-installed plants and beds will probably need watering every other day. Keep lawns watered through fall, too, or they may show the dam- age next spring. Remember, moisture retains heat. Dry soils do not. It's time to plant cool-season annuals such as petunias, dianthus, pansies, flowering cabbage, kale and snapdragons. Plant in full sun and. keep watered, especially right after planting. If you sow seeds of poppies, larkspur, sweet peas and bachelor buttons in a sunny spot, you'll be rewarded in March and April with tons of flowers. Just work up the soil and follow package .directions for sowing.. Don't plant the seeds too deep, and keep the, young, emerging seedlings moist until they get well established. Many perennials can be planted now and enjoyed -for many falls to come. Pineapple sage has bright red flowers and pineapple scented foliage. Mexican sage flowers heav-i- ly with purple and white flowers. Hum- mingbirds love fthemrn both, as w ell a-s firespike, with its brilliant red flower spikes, and cigar plant, which has striking orange and yellow flowers. Philippine violet has an incredible number of lavender-purple flow- ers in autumn that blanket the ground as they fall. Mexican mint marigold has bright gold flowers and great tarragon-flavored fo- liage. Plant spring-flowering bulbs now, too. The best repeat bloomers are the smaller- flowered narcissus bulbs. Snowflakes or snowdrops are also fairly reliable. Cool-season vegetables to plant now in- dude beets, broccoli, cabbage, carrots, cauli- flower, Chinese cabbage, collards, kohlrabi, mustard, bulbing onions, radishes, spinach, strawberries, and turnips. Plant herbs such as parsley, sage, thyme, and rosemary. Fall is a much better time than spring to plant shrubs that overwinter in North Flori- da. They will have all winter to grow roots 'before theheat returns, and will give you a spring show. Select and plant new trees now; too. Among the showiest trees for fall leaf colors are Florida maple, crape myrtle, dogwood, hickory, Japanese maple, black gum, Brad- ford pear, red maple, sassafras. Shumard oak, Southern red oaks, sourwvood, and sweetgum. Use fallen pine needles and leaves as mulch around trees and shrubs. Or create self-mulching areas, especially in shaded ar- eas \\ here the grass doesn t grow well any- way. Three great groundcovers to plant are English i\-v. mondo grass, and liriope.
