Frequently Asked Questions About Gardening
When can I plant my fall vegetables outdoors?
If seeds or small transplants are part of your plan, start planting in late summer for fall or winter gardening. Warm climates can plant later in the year than cold northern climates. You may be able to grow cruciferous vegetables and leafy greens throughout the fall and into winter if the weather stays mild. Check your planting zone for details on specific plants and your growing season, then read up on how to plant a fall vegetable garden.
What can I do with the extra wood after tree trimming or tree removal?
A wood chipper makes tiny wood chips, while a log splitter leaves you with more manageable chunks of wood. After pruning trees and bushes with hedge trimmers or a gas chainsaw, clean up the debris in a wood chipper. If your trees are healthy, the chopped wood and bark chips make mulch that you can spread around your fall flowers and plants. If you removed a tree, you can either get a log splitter or an axe to break up the downed tree into smaller pieces. A wood splitter is quicker and a wise investment if you're doing an expansive amount of tree cleanup, and bigger is better here.
Is it better to use a leaf blower or rake on fall leaves?
Whether you need the power of a gas leaf blower or the comparatively quieter electric leaf blower, we've got both. Using a leaf blower can help you control the leaves with less physical effort. Electric versions come as corded or cordless leaf blowers, which are also called battery leaf blowers. We've also got handheld, walk-behind, and backpack leaf blower models. Leaf vacuums, vacuum-mulcher combo units, or rakes are additional options. Turn the fallen leaves into mulch and enrich your soil or fill up lawn and leaf bags and take them out to the curb.
How do I store my a lawn mower during the winter?
To maintain outdoor power equipment, clean it before you store it. Check the manufacturer's website or your owner's manual for info on caring for a specific tool, like oiling a chainsaw chain or removing grass from lawn mower blades. To shut down gas-powered outdoor power equipment for the season, run each tool at an idle until the gas is gone, then change the oil so it's ready in the spring. For electric tools, remove the battery, put it in its storage case, and store it where it won't freeze — usually away from the tools themselves. Your tools will last longer when care for them well, saving you time and money.
How do I winterize an outdoor spigot?
Prepare your outdoor faucets for freezing temperatures by draining and covering them with faucet covers. Shutting down the outdoor tap can be put off until washing the car in the driveway or watering the garden is done for the year, but don't wait too long. With all hoses disconnected, turn off the indoor valves that control the spigots, then run the water until it stops. If you have an irrigation system or in-ground sprinklers, drain those as well as per the manufacturer's instructions. You may need an air compressor to get out every last drop of water. While you're at it, get a pool vacuum and pool cover and winterize your swimming pool, too.
Do I get a snow blower or snow shovel?
In climates where it gets cold and snowy, early fall is the time to prepare your snow removal tools. Snow blowers are great, but keep an ice scraper and snow shovel to clean trouble spots or chip away ice patches. Find lightweight cordless and electric snow blowers as well as gas snow blowers. People with larger driveways may consider using a spreader to easily distribute the ice melt or salt to clear a path to the car or mailbox. Prepare now before the snow starts falling.

Fall is a different time for your lawn and garden, so get out your work gloves, chainsaws, and pole saws. The focus shifts from growing to harvesting, from upkeep to cleanup. We've got fall lawn tips to help you make the most of your garden and landscaping as the season ends. We'll also guide you through harvest and planting. Depending on your climate, you might be able to garden throughout the chillier months. Read on for more on fall lawn and garden maintenance.
Patch or Fertilize Your Lawn
Fix bald spots on your lawn by overseeding them. Cooler weather is a great time to fill in dead or brown places in your yard. However, you should try to keep fallen leaves off freshly seeded areas. New grass seed needs air, sun, and water to grow, and leaf litter can block out the air and sunlight it needs to germinate.
If you're in a northern climate, prepare your cool-season grass for the fall with lawn fertilizer. Rent an aerator to aerate your lawn before adding fertilizer to get those nutrients down near the roots right off the bat. An edger gives extra polish to the perimeter of your yard. Water your cool-season lawn regularly and tend to any weeds that show up. Warm-season varieties, like those in the southern states, are winding down their growth for the year. It's better not to fertilize it now, as you don't want fresh grass growing right before it goes dormant. Taper down watering on warm-season lawns.
Fall Gardening
Fall planting is often overlooked, but autumn is the perfect time to get additional flowers in your garden. Chrysanthemums, often just called "mums," provide a beautiful burst of fall color. Find them in shades of purple, pink, red, orange, yellow, and white. Marigolds and pansies are other options for beautiful fall flowers, so consider them, too. Remember to explore the wide variety of fall plant and flower options.
Succulents and shrubs also blossom in the fall, especially if they're already established in the ground or kept in flower pots. Succulent planters allow for easier upkeep of sensitive succulents. Customize the soil to fit these desert plants, as they need a sandy succulent soil mixture.
For shrubs, look after the ones you've got or plant new ones, weather permitting. Get in new plants now, especially if you're in a warmer climate and have time before the cold and frost comes. If you use retaining wall blocks to accent or surround your garden, try giving a finished look with rubber mulch. It'll overwinter well and resist fading longer than other mulches.
Cut and Cover Perennials
In climates where you might have a cold snap here and there, but then it'll warm up above freezing, cover your plants. Protect your garden from freeze and frost damage to extend their season. You can get extra life out of your garden by covering your plants with tarps, 5-gallon buckets, or even painting drop cloths. It'll warm your plants like a greenhouse, and they'll survive a frost.
This works well early on, until you're fully into the colder parts of the season. Uncover the plants when the thermometer goes up again and let them enjoy that fall sunshine. Once the temperatures regularly dip below freezing, say goodbye to the garden for the winter.
Put the Garden to Bed
When the sun angle changes and your annuals start looking rougher, dig up the plants. Northern climates might be putting the garden to bed for the season in October or November, while warmer climates might wait until November or December. After your vegetables and annuals are done for the year, dig them up, then chop and dispose of the detritus, or dead plant debris. You can let them return their nutrients to the earth, but there are two exceptions: if your plants dealt with blight or if you had a snail problem.
After you've removed the old plants, you've got a clean slate. Prepare your garden bed for the spring by rotating the soil with a shovel or renting a rototiller. You want to loosen the earth so the topsoil goes down and the deeper soil comes up. It helps nutrients penetrate and lets the soil rest. It's also an excellent opportunity to test the soil and see what, if any, soil amendments you need. Different crops and plants use different nutrients. Test your soil to see if it's balanced or if you ought to replenish certain nutrients that have been depleted.
Indoor Gardening
Gardeners with potted plants can extend their growing season by bringing the plants indoors to a sunny window. Indoor gardening allows both outdoor plants to live longer and indoor plants to bring joy into your home. Just make sure they get enough water, and rotate them regularly to give all the leaves equal sunlight. Be sure to add dishes beneath the pots to catch any extra water if they don't have built-in overflow dishes.
Warm the Outdoors with an Outdoor Fireplace
Stretch out your fall evenings with an outdoor fireplace, fire pit, or patio heater to take off the chill. No matter if you're looking for outdoor heaters for decks, small patios, or cozy porches, we've got options. All you have to do is discover the one that matches your decor style.
