FaIl has finally begun and with it cornes the chores which must be donc in the fail to get the garden ready for the winter. Now after we have had a good frost most of the softer annuais such as the Impa- tients are fmnished for the year and can be removed although somne of the tougher ones sur- vived the frost and can be left for a few weeks until the next frst T he lawn will require a bit of attention. The grass sho:uld be moved once more or if the weather stays warm probably twice but the idea is to have the lawn go into the winter not too long and not too short about 1112 inches long. If left too long it will matt witb the winter snows and will cause the grass to suffocate under ýthe heavy matt and will turn the lawn brown. The sanie resuits oc- cur when cut too sl*ît. 'the Iawin does fnot havea chance to survive the hard frost. F.1ai feeding is probably one of the most important of ail the feedings tbroughout the year. The University of Guelph bas just finished a very complex study on the best tim-e to;,app- ly lawn food to the lawn and also what analysis is the 'best. This study surprised the ex- perts by comîng with a recommendation that 'goes exactly against the usual type of plantfood, they recomn- mend that we use a high Nitrogen fertilizer. This is the first number on the fertilizer formula and they have found that the nitrogen wiII build up in the leaf tissues of the grass blades and. becomne available, as soon as the temperature' rises in the spring. This also helps the lawn 'to survive the winter better since, the nitrogen is available when it is needed. It will also stop the lawn from coming through the winter in a dehydrated brown condition and wilI get the growth action started carlier 'in the season. They also found that the best timne is to apply this lawnfood after the first frost since'then it wilI only be used as storage and flot make the lawn grow this fali. So now is the perfect time to get some of this fer- tilizer on the Iawn. We get more calis, up to 30 a day,, about how to look after the roses and how to protect them for the coming winter months. Most of the damage is done to the roses by two weather eements, the wind and the cold. First, the wind will dry the cari, second- ly the frost will do exactly the sanie thing. The frost will dehydrate the sap in the carn- bian layer and then of course the canes ýwill flot carry any sap causing the bush to die. You will notice that roses planted on the south side of the bouse will survive the winter better than the ones on the north side of the bouse. As you will notice the severe northwest wind is stopped. Also the heat from t he sun will build up the heat and give you better conditions to get tbem through the winter. To help them to survive the winter you cai build up the earth around the bush and bank them around thie canes to a height of 8 to 10 inches. This will protect the bottom part of the bush. Then in the spring the top part cari bcecut off and the new growth will start from the bottom. Over the past few years many peo- pie have found that banking on them with processed -cow or sheep manure- will serve this purpose and. also build up the soul around the bushes giving the bush that extra plantfood- for the following year. If you ever want to grow good roses you should try this -method. Until Next Week, Happy Gardening.
