Now is a great time of year to enjoy the fall colors of ornamental grasses and perennials. Hold off on cutting everything down, you’ll miss scenes like these.
When’s The Best Time To Fertilize My Lawn?
If you only use one lawn fertilizer application each year, Fall is the best time to do so.
In the Fall, plants move vital nutrients into their roots so it will be available in the Spring for a natural greening up. Other benefits include not needing a fertilizer application until late May and you won’t chase an unnatural rapid, early grass growth when site conditions may be too wet to cut because of a high nitrogen early Spring lawn application.
I like to apply the season’s last fertilizer application around Election Day. I recommend Anderson’s triple 14 formulation, 14-14-14, available at Lakeside Sod Supply Co., Inc. in Clarence, corner of County & Goodrich Roads using a broadcast spreader.

Thinking of Where To Go This Summer?
It’s never too early to plan your summer trip. If you have never been to Mackinac, pronounced Mackinaw, Island, this is an excellent opportunity not only because you get to have a wonderful vacation in a great hotel, but you also get informative workshops and presentations from renown landscape influencers, have a relaxing meet and greet with presenters with tasty appetizers in the garden and you even get to visit nearby estate gardens!

~ BONUS~ Sidetrip- Detroit is a great city to visit, great places for food, the Art Gallery is superb. I highly recommend the Inn on Ferry Street to stay, easy walking distance to Art Gallery and museums.






Spent a little time just relaxing by the pond this beautiful, sunny, warm Fall afternoon. The 3 inch goldfish have doubled in length since June and look who’s still resides there~
