While the summer heat is still bearing down, there is no doubt that fall is approaching quickly, and you will want to take all the necessary steps to prepare both your garden and your garden shed. So when the leaves begin to fall you have time to escape the cold.
So how to get your garden ready?
Garden and Garden Shed Prep
Landscape Maintenance- The end of summer and beginning of fall is the best time to begin clearing out your garden and maintaining your landscape. Dead plants should be disposed of now. Cool weather vegetables and shrubs should be planted in place of summer time vegetation. Nutrients will be needed by plants now so compost should be reapplied.
Plants in Pots- You need to carefully move potted plants kept outside. You can either plant them in the ground if they are hardy plants that can withstand the cold or place your more fragile plants in your shed. If you are placing these plants in your shed, however, make sure to take the time to clear out a space near a window so your plants have plenty of natural light. You can also use low hanging lamps to increase the amount of light your vegetation receives while it is living in your garden shed.
Furniture for the Outdoor- Clean up your outdoor furniture and get rid of damaged or old pieces not in use. Clear out some space in your storage shed to store furniture for winter.
Tools for the Garden- When taking care of the garden shed you need to clean your garden tools too. You will find even the most reliable tool rusted by spring if you don't store them away now. Remove any dirt, grime, and dust, then make sure they are dry, well-oiled, and stored in an appropriate place.
Consider Important Things- Prepare your garden and garden shed for fall and find out what plants and tools were used. Think about tools and figure out what plants grew well in your soil and which didn't really work. You will know what you need for next year by taking these notes and beginning the learning process for planting a garden.
Summer is still in full force, but fall is just around the corner. Make sure your garden and garden shed are ready. Prepare them for the colder months.
