- Enjoy the color of dahlias, native hibiscus, Rose of Sharon and phlox
- Plan changes to your garden this fall
- Keep watering anything newly planted last fall or this season
- Patrol beds for deadheading and weeding through the coming month
- Deadleaf daylilies as you cut spent stalks, removing yellowed foliage
- Touch up mulch that was disturbed after pulling large weeds
- Patrol beds for small seedlings of invasive plants and pluck out
- Freshen containers with fall interest plants
- Clean up spent vegetable crops immediately and sow cover crops or mulch with sterilized straw since Nature abhores a vacuum
