 🍂 September in North Carolina: Preparing Your Garden and Outdoor Spaces for Fall

Welcome, September! 🌱 In North Carolina, this month marks the transition from summer heat to cooler autumn weather. It’s the perfect time to take proactive steps to keep your garden and outdoor spaces healthy, safe, and ready to enjoy all season long.

1. General Cleaning and Maintenance:

Don’t let leaves accumulate. Start blowing and picking up leaves now to keep your garden clean and prevent pests and fungi. Remove fallen branches and plant debris regularly. Being proactive now avoids bigger problems later in the fall.

2. Outdoor Spaces Care:

Give attention to your firepits, patios, decks, and walkways:

Clean your firepit and remove ashes.

Inspect outdoor furniture and fix minor damages.

Sweep and wash patios and decks to remove summer debris.

Check outdoor lighting and irrigation systems.

3. Lawn and Transplanting:

Plant cool-season grass like ryegrass, which thrives in North Carolina’s climate. Take advantage of the milder temperatures to transplant shrubs and ornamental plants so their roots can establish before the colder months.

4. Fertilization and Nutrition:

Use a balanced fertilizer to strengthen roots and prepare your grass and ornamental plants for the cooler months. This helps maintain color and vitality throughout fall and winter.

5. Proper Watering for Local Climate:

Even though late summer rains help, adjust your watering schedule based on soil moisture. Smart watering prevents overwatering and promotes healthy growth in your garden and outdoor areas.

6. Preparing for Cooler Weather:

Protect sensitive plants and keep outdoor areas safe with mulch, light coverings, or strategic transplants. This ensures your garden and spaces like patios and firepits are ready to enjoy without issues during fall.

7. Landscaping Projects and Improvements:

September is a great month to plan changes in your garden and outdoor areas: pathways, seating areas, patios, and firepits. North Carolina’s weather allows you to make improvements without the extreme summer heat or winter frost.
