Frequently Asked Questions About Gardening
When should I plant my fall veggies outdoors?
If you're starting seeds for fall or winter gardening, get them in by late summer. Warm climates can plant later in the year than cold climates. You may be able to grow cruciferous vegetables and leafy greens throughout the fall and into winter if you live in a warm climate. Check your planting zone for details on specific plants and your growing season, then read up on how to plant a fall vegetable garden.
Do fall leaves make good mulch?
You can make your own mulch from fallen leaves. Return nutrients to your soil instead of sending them to a landfill. Shred the leaves with a leaf shredder, or simply run over them with a lawn mower until they're finely chopped, then bag up the mulch to spread in the garden. If you don't have an HOA making the rules, you can even mow over the leaves, letting them decay into the earth. This gives your lawn a final nutrient boost before winter sets in. You can also leave the leaf litter as a home for moths and other critters to live.
When do I pick fall fruit or vegetables?
Wait until the produce is ripe, if possible. Some fruit keeps ripening after it's picked, but very little of it will survive a frost. Check your first frost date, then prepare to get that final harvest in before the cold brings the plant lifecycle to a close. If it's forecast to freeze one night but then warm up again, cover your plants the night before with tarp or 5-gallon buckets. It'll keep them warm and you'll get a little more time with them.
How do I store my garden tools for the season?
Give your garden and yard a good cleaning, then store the tools for the winter. Remove clay and grime with a soak in soapy water, then dry the tools thoroughly. Next, soak them in a bleach and water mix for 20 minutes to kill off any microorganisms, and follow with a rinse. Then, scrub off rust specks with a wire brush, oil them with vegetable oil or WD-40 if necessary, and ensure they're dry before hanging them in a garage or shed.

On a fresh fall day, take advantage of the weather and do a second round of planting and outdoor maintenance. Now is a great time to get flower bulbs and fall flowers in the ground. Read on for more on fall garden maintenance, fall planting, and how to transition to your fall lawn and garden.
Patch or Fertilize Your Lawn
Patch up 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, make sure leaves don't land on 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. Aerate your lawn before adding fertilizer to get the most bang for your buck. Water your cool-season lawn regularly and tend to any pesky fall 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.
Fall Gardening
Many colorful fall flowers are annuals, like marigolds, so they last until the end of the year. Hardier plants, like pansies and chrysanthemums, should return in the spring. Always check the plant tag for info. If you want your mums to grow back next year, the label should call them chrysanthemum morifolium, garden mums, or hardy mums. If it says they're an annual or florist mum, you'll have flowers this year only.
Succulents and shrubs put on a show of flowers 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 in the planters 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 frost and cold comes.
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 buckets, tarps, 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 it warms up again and let them enjoy that fall sunshine. Once the temperatures regularly dip below freezing, it's time to say goodbye to the garden for now.
Put the Garden to Bed
When your annuals start looking rougher, dig up the plants. Northern climates 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 annuals are done blooming for the year, 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 slug problem.
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 loosen the earth so the topsoil goes down and the deeper soil comes up. 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 add certain nutrients that have been depleted.
Indoor Gardening
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 house plants to bring joy into your home. Just turn them regularly to give all those leaves equal sunlight, and make sure they get enough water now that they won't benefit from rainfall. 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 an Outdoor Fireplace
Stretch out your fall evenings with an outdoor fireplace, patio heater, or fire pit 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 find the one that matches your decor style.
When you're curious about how to build an outdoor fireplace or how to choose an outdoor fireplace, we have the supplies you need. Bricks, mortar, a wheelbarrow, trowels, and more — let us help you get this fall project done. If you'd love some extra heat but rather not install a fire pit or fireplace, we also have patio heaters, including gas, propane, and electric models.
