Fall is the best time to prepare for spring. Water lawns weekly, keep newly seeded areas moist, and deep water to encourage deep roots. Plant spring blooming bulbs after October 1 and mulch after frost. Store bulbs and gladiolas properly and protect bulbs from freezing. Contact County Extension for more details and note a wheat mite found in volunteer wheat.
