Lawn seeding and geranium care tips from Tripoli Leader
Iowa State extension horticul turist A E Cott advises late summer or early fall for establishing a new lawn with six inches of topsoil and a fertilizer rich seedbed. Use bluegrass blends with creeping red fescue, seed 2 3 pounds per 1000 sq ft, cover lightly, roll, and keep moist. Geranium cuttings should be taken in August for strong spring plants, with overwintering tips and frost timing noted. Tomatoes ripen on the vine yielding better vitamins, with orange hue possible in heat.
