GREEN GODDESS GARDENING 101
The weather in September in the Phoenix area can still be quite warm. Average highs can range from 104 degrees to 94 degrees. With September being the gateway to fall, the following are a few gardening tips.
- Stop fertilizing in September if you are planning on over-seeding Bermuda
- If you didn’t fertilize your citrus in August, do it now. Use Ammonium Sulfate, spreading it on the outer area of the roots to get maximum benefits.
- Prepare gardens and flower beds by churning up the soil, fertilize and using ingredients that help promote the best growth.
- Watering should be same as summer months since temperatures can still be hot.
