Gardening in The Off-Season
Just because summer is ending doesn’t mean that gardeners
need to forgo thinking about gardening until the next growing
season. On Oct. 21 the University of Vermont (UVM)
Extension Master Gardener program will sponsor Gardening
in the Off Season, a day-long event at the North Branch
Nature Center (NBNC) in Montpelier. The program, which
runs from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m., is hosted by the Central Vermont
Master Gardener Chapter.
The registration fee, which includes lunch, refreshments
and materials, is $75 if received by Oct. 13, $85 after that
date. Extension Master Gardeners from any state may attend
for a discounted rate of $50 or $60 for late registration. To
register visit http://go.uvm.edu/uvmemg-offseason-gardening.
Anyone who also enrolls in the online Extension Master
Gardener course that begins in late January will receive a $25
credit towards the course fee.
The program kicks off with a talk by Cassandra Hemenway,
the Zero Waste Outreach Manager at the Central Vermont
Solid Waste Management District, on composting in winter
and Act 148, the new Vermont universal recycling and com-
posting law. She is followed by Ann Hazelrigg, director of the
UVM Plant Diagnostic Clinic, who will discuss pests and
diseases found in Vermont gardens this season and control
measures for next year’s garden.
Following lunch, Chip Darmstadt, NBNC executive director,
will lead a nature walk. Participants also will hear from
Mike Ather, an Extension Master Gardener, Extension Master
Composter and owner of Backyard Wilderness in Middlesex,
on how to grow vegetables and herbs under lights.
Horticultural expert Will Creed will speak on year-round
houseplant care. Creed is the owner of Horticultural Help, a
New York City interior landscaping business, and author of
Don’t Repot That Plant!: And Other Common Indoor Plant
Mistakes.

3 pre-winter lawn care pointers
Winter weather can be harsh, especially on lawns.
Homeowners who spend much of spring and summer tending
to their lawns may fear the impact that winter will have on
their once-lush landscapes, making the fall a great time to
fortify lawns against any harsh conditions to come.
Homeowners must take grass type into consideration
before taking steps to prepare their lawns for the winter. Some
grasses are best fertilized in late-summer, while others should
be fertilized in autumn. Cool-season grasses, including fescue
and bluegrass, are best fertilized sometime between the
months of September and November. Warm-season grasses,
such as Bermuda or zoysia, should be fertilized between July
and September. Once homeowners have gained a greater
understanding of their lawns, they can begin exploring the
various ways to prepare their lawns for whatever winter has in
store.
EXPLORE WINTERIZING FERTILIZERS.
Homeowners who want to make their grasses more winter
hardy can consult landscaping professionals to determine if
winterizing fertilizers will work for their lawns. These specially
formulated fertilizers, many of which are made exclusively
for cool-season grasses, contain higher levels of potassium
and lower levels of nitrogen than early-season fertilizers.
Potassium helps strengthen and harden plants, and cool-season
grasses may need extra potassium as winter settles in.
Homeowners who are not sure if they should apply winterizing
fertilizer can conduct soil tests to determine the potassium
levels in their soil. If the test indicates the soil has sufficient
potassium, then applying a winterizing fertilizer is likely
unnecessary. In addition, homeowners who have fed their
lawn a balance of nutrients throughout spring and summer
likely will not need to apply winterizing fertilizer.
GET RID OF FALLEN LEAVES.
While fallen leaves may be integral components of idyllic
autumn landscapes, leaves left on the lawn throughout the
winter may lead to disease in the grass. Leaves trap moisture
and block sunlight and air from reaching grass, and that can
encourage the development of disease. In addition, leaves can
harbor insects that also may contribute to disease. While it
might seem like common sense to delay leaf removal until the
end of autumn when all the leaves have fallen, that, too, can
prove harmful to lawns. Leaves left laying on lawns for long
periods of time can contribute to the same types of damage as
leaves left on the lawn throughout winter, so do your best to
remove leaves as they fall.
TAKE STEPS TO FIGHT SNOW MOLD.
Homeowners who live in regions where snow falls into
spring or where spring tends to be cold and damp may want
to take steps to prevent snow mold. Gray snow mold typically
looks fuzzy and gray, and lawns infested with snow mold may
develop unsightly gray or brown spots indicative of dead
grass. Pink snow mold may be even worse than gray snow
mold because pink mold attacks the roots as well as the
leaves. To prevent snow mold, continue mowing into the fall,
even as lawns grow dormant, clearing the lawn of grass clippings
and leaves after each mow. Thick lawns may provide a
breeding ground for snow mold, so homeowners whose lawns
have a history of developing snow mold may benefit from
mowing their lawns into the fall.
Winter is rarely easy on lawns, but homeowners can take
several steps to prepare their lawns for potentially harsh winter
weather.
