Winterize Your Lawn NOW!
Many homeowners are eager to apply early spring fertilizers to their cool-season lawns (fescue, bluegrass, ryegrass). But according to Kansas State University, fall is the most important time to fertilize for the health of your lawn AND for faster green-up in the spring. In the fall, cool-season grasses are entering their peak growth cycle as days shorten and night time temperatures moderate. Cool-season grasses thicken up in the fall by tillering, forming new shoots at the base of existing plants.

Cool Season Lawns
Visions of sugar plums may drive out all thoughts of lawn care during the holiday season. But the soil isn’t frozen and that means grass roots can still take up fertilizer.
House Plants
December is the month to bring color into your home with poinsettias and Christmas cactus. Both plants have similar needs, with poinsettias requiring more moisture.
