I’m spending lots of time in my yard this month, winterizing my lavender, raking up leaves, and rescuing my bulbs from the pesky squirrels, who are burying deeper than usual, to unearth my spring flowers planted using the bulb lasagna technique. There are plenty of pests to deter and jobs to keep me busy.
However, there’s one task that can be forgotten among the myriad of other jobs. While we take care of our lawns in the spring and summer, it can be easy to forget that they still need some maintenance in the fall.
