Gardening Calender Second Week of September

Plant evergreens. To transplant needle-leaf or cone-bearing evergreens, be sure
plants have adequate rootballs.

Clean up garden debris and add to compost pile or turn under vegetation. To
improve soil structure and decrease erosion during the winter, plant a cover crop. These wintercover crops can be planted from September 1 through November 1.¨ Bring in Thanksgiving or Christmas cactus and place on a cool porch or cool part of the house. Do not water for four weeks so that buds can set. After that time, fertilize well and resume weekly watering.
