Frequently Asked Questions About Gardening
When should fall vegetable plants be well established by?
Fall plants should be mature by first frost so the cold won't kill them. Heat-loving plants, like bell peppers, are killed or damaged by frost unless they're covered, but other plants don't mind. Cruciferous veggies, or cole crops, like broccoli, cabbage, and kale, thrive in cooler temperatures and may continue growing into the winter months. Get incredible depth to their taste by harvesting these veggies after frost. The plants convert starches into sugar, so they'll taste sweeter than previous harvests. Root veggies, like carrots and beets, also love cooler temperatures.
How can I clear fall leaves from my lawn?
If you'd prefer to use power tools to keep fallen leaves under control, find the best leaf blowers for your yard. Electric versions come as corded or cordless leaf blowers, which are also called battery leaf blowers. We've also got walk-behind, backpack, and handheld 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 leaf bags and take them out to the curb.
When do I pick fall vegetables and fruit?
Wait until the produce is ripe, if possible. Cruciferous veggies may survive a frost, but other produce won't. Check your first frost date, then prepare to get that final garden picking in before the cold brings the plant lifecycle to a close. If it's only a short freeze, cover your plants the night before with tarp or 5-gallon buckets. It'll keep them warm and give you a little more time with them.
How do I store my outdoor power tools for the winter?
To maintain outdoor power equipment, clean it before you store it. Check your owner's manual or the manufacturer's website 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, idle each tool 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. It's a bit labor-intensive now, but you'll be glad you maintained your tools when you use them again.
The Home Depot Garden Center at Myrtle Beach
When a cool day breezes in, hinting at the seasonal change, take advantage of it to do outdoor maintenance and a second round of planting. Now is a great time to get flower bulbs and fall flowers in the ground. Read on for more on fall gardening, and how to transition to your fall lawn and garden.
Fertilize or Patch Your Lawn
Patch bald spots on your lawn by spreading fresh grass seed. Autumn is a great time to fill in brown or bare places in your yard. However, be mindful of fallen leaves on freshly seeded areas. New grass seed needs water, air, and sun 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. Aerate your lawn before fertilizing to get those nutrients down near the roots right off the bat. Water your cool-season lawn regularly and tend to any weeds that show up. It'll need different maintenance than warm-season grass, which goes dormant as the weather cools. Taper down watering on warm-season lawns.
Plant Flower Bulbs
If you've got your eye on spring-blooming bulb plants, get those planted soon. Although their roots look different because they sprout from bulbs and not just below the stem, they still need time to grow downward. Check your plant hardiness zone before planting. In colder climates, certain bulb flowers should be planted in spring instead. Find ideas for spring flowering bulbs and plan your daffodil, iris, and tulip displays now. Onions and garlic can also go in for next year's harvest, but they won't need soil additives.
Skip the soil amendments when planting garlic or onion bulbs instead of flower bulbs. Simply plant them now, pointy-side up like a teardrop shape, and you'll have a fresh harvest by next summer. These plants will spread though, so be careful not to let them flower, dry out, and go to seed when they mature. Snip off the dried flowers to avoid planting a patch of volunteer garlic and onion plants.
Cut and Cover Perennials
In climates where you might have a cold snap but then 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, buckets, or even painting drop cloths. It'll warm your plants like a greenhouse or blanket, and they'll survive a frost. Read other fall-planted perennial tips, too.
This works well early on, until you're fully into the colder parts of the season. Uncover the plants in the morning when the thermometer goes up again and let them enjoy that fall sunshine. Once the temperatures regularly dip below freezing, it's time to bid a fond farewell to the garden for now.
Put the Garden to Bed
When the sun angle changes and your annuals start looking rougher, dig up the plants. Northern climates that get cold earlier in the fall may be putting the garden to bed for the season in October or November, while warmer climates might wait until November or December. After your vegetable plants have given their final harvest, dig them up and dispose of the detritus, or dead plant debris. Feel free to let them decompose to enrich the soil unless you had one of two exceptions: if your plants dealt with blight or if you had a snail problem.
For gardens overrun with slugs and snails or if your plants struggled with disease, put the old plants in a yard waste bag and dispose of them. You don't want to bring the disease or slugs to next year's garden. However, if you have a compost pile, feel free to add the snail-riddled plant parts there.
After you've removed the old plants, you have a clean slate. Prepare your garden bed for the spring by rotating the soil with a shovel or renting a rototiller. You want to bring the deeper soil to the surface, send the topsoil lower down, and generally break up the ground. It lets the soil rest and helps nutrients penetrate. 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 need to restore certain nutrients that have been depleted.
Bring Potted Plants Indoors
Gardeners with potted plants can extend their growing season by bringing delicate 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 now that they won't benefit from rainfall, and rotate them regularly to give all those leaves equal sunlight for photosynthesis. Remember to place decorative dishes beneath them if the pots don't have built-in overflow dishes to catch any extra water.
Warm the Outdoors with a Fire Pit
Stretch out your fall evenings with a patio heater, fire pit, or outdoor fireplace 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 pick the one that matches your decor style.
