Frequently Asked Questions About Gardening
Do some vegetable plants prefer fall temperatures?
Fall plants should be mature by first frost so the cold won't kill them. Heat-loving plants, like bush beans, won't often survive a frost unless they're covered, but other plants don't mind. Cruciferous vegetables, or cole crops, like kale, broccoli, and cabbage, thrive in cooler temperatures and may continue growing into the winter months. Get incredible depth to their taste by harvesting these veggies after frost. The plants convert starches into sugar, so they'll taste sweeter than previous harvests. Root veggies, like carrots, also love chilly temperatures.
Is it better to use a rake or leaf blower on fall leaves?
If you'd prefer to use power tools to keep fallen leaves under control, shop our leaf blowers. Electric versions come as corded or cordless leaf blowers. We've also got walk-behind, backpack, and handheld leaf blower models. Leaf vacuums, vacuum-mulcher combo units, or rakes are additional options. Turn the fallen leaves into mulch and enrich your soil or fill up leaf bags and take them out to the curb.
When do I pick fall fruit or vegetables?
Wait until the produce is ripe, if possible. Cruciferous veggies may survive a frost, but other produce won't. Check your first frost date, then prepare to get that final garden picking in before the cold brings the plant lifecycle to a close. If you've got only a brief freeze coming, cover your plants the night before with tarp or 5-gallon buckets to help them survive longer.
How do I clean and store a string trimmer?
To maintain outdoor power equipment, clean it before you store it. Check the manufacturer's website or your owner's manual for info on caring for a certain tool. For battery-powered tools, store the batteries in a place that won't freeze, as they don't do well with extreme temperatures. Idle gas tools until they sputter dry and then change the oil. It's a bit labor-intensive now, but you'll be glad you maintained your tools when you use them again.

On a fresh fall day, take advantage of the weather and do a second round of planting and outdoor maintenance. Now is a great time to get fall flowers and flower bulbs in the ground. Read on for more on fall gardening, and how to transition to your fall lawn and garden.
Fertilize or Patch Your Lawn
Patch bald spots on your lawn by spreading fresh grass seed. Autumn is a great time to fill in brown, dead, or bare places in your yard. However, be mindful of fallen leaves on freshly seeded areas. New grass seed needs sun, air, and water to grow, and leaf litter can block out the air and sunlight it needs to germinate.
If your lawn is in good shape, make sure it stays that way by applying lawn fertilizer if you have cool-season grass. Aerate your lawn before adding fertilizer to get the most bang for your buck. Water your cool-season lawn regularly and tend to any pesky fall weeds that show up. It'll need different maintenance than warm-season grass, which goes dormant as the weather cools. Taper down watering on warm-season lawns.
Get Bulb Plants in the Ground
If you've got your eye on bulb plants that greet the springtime sun, get those planted soon. They need time to grow downward. Check your plant hardiness zone before planting. In colder climates, some bulb plants should be planted in spring instead. Find ideas for spring flowering bulbs and plan your daffodil, tulip, and iris displays now. Onions and garlic can also go in for next year's harvest, but they won't need soil additives.
Skip the soil amendments when planting onion or garlic bulbs instead of flower bulbs. Simply plant them now, pointy-side up, and you'll have a fresh harvest by next summer. These plants will spread though, so be careful not to let them flower, dry out, and go to seed after they mature. Snip off the dried flowers to avoid planting a patch of volunteer garlic and onion plants.
Cut and Cover Perennials
In climates where you might have a cold snap here and there, but then it'll warm up above freezing, cover your plants. Protect your garden from frost and freeze damage to extend their season. You can get extra life out of your garden by covering your plants with 5-gallon buckets, tarps, or even painting drop cloths. It'll warm your plants like a greenhouse or blanket, and they'll survive a frost. Read other fall-planted perennial tips, too.
This works well when the weather is still transitional, until you're fully into the colder parts of the season. Uncover the plants when it warms up again and let them enjoy that autumn sun. Once the temperatures regularly dip below freezing, it's time to say goodbye to the garden for the rest of the year.
Put the Garden to Bed
When the sun angle changes and your annuals start looking rougher, it's time to dig up the plants. Northern climates that get cold earlier in the fall may be putting the garden to bed for the season in October or November, while warmer climates might wait until November or December. After your annuals are done blooming for the year, dig them up, then chop and dispose of the detritus, or dead plant debris. You can let them return their nutrients to the soil, but there are two exceptions: if your plants dealt with disease or if you had a snail problem.
After you've removed the old plants, you have a clean slate. Prepare your garden bed for the spring by rotating the soil with a rototiller or shovel. You want to loosen the earth so the topsoil goes down and the deeper soil comes up. It helps nutrients penetrate and lets the soil rest. It's also an excellent opportunity to test the soil and see what, if any, soil amendments you need. Different crops and plants use different nutrients. Test your soil to see if it's balanced or if you need to restore certain nutrients that have been depleted.
Indoor Gardening
Gardeners with potted plants can extend their growing season by bringing the plants indoors to a sunny window. Indoor gardening allows both outdoor plants to live longer and house plants to bring joy into your home. Just make sure they get enough water, and turn them regularly to give all leaves equal sunlight for photosynthesis. Be sure to add dishes beneath the pots to catch any extra water if they don't have built-in overflow dishes.
Warm the Outdoors with a Patio Heater
Stretch out your fall evenings with a fire pit, outdoor fireplace, or patio heater to take off the chill. No matter if you're looking for outdoor heaters for decks, small patios, or cozy porches, we've got options. All you have to do is discover the one that matches your decor style.
When you're curious about how to build an outdoor fireplace or how to choose an outdoor fireplace, we have the supplies you need. Bricks, mortar, a wheelbarrow, trowels, and more — let us help you get this fall project from doing to done. If you'd love some extra heat but rather not install a fire pit or fireplace, we also have patio heaters, including gas, propane, and electric models.
