Perennials can also be used to add fragrance and texture to gardens, as well as attract beneficial wildlife such as butterflies and hummingbirds. Planting perennials in the fall is like making a longterm investment-one that pays dividends the next year. Herbaceous perennials are plants that die back to the ground in cold weather but resume growing in spring. This feature offers gardeners a wide selection of plant sizes, flower colors and forms, and seasons of bloom to choose from. Expert Advice Explains flower specialist Venelin Dimitrov, “Fall is the ideal time to plant peren- nials because the cold winter months that follow are very important for dormancy. Many beautiful plants from temperate climates must experience a period of low winter temperature to initiate and accelerate flowering, which is known Continued on Page 9 Winter Fertilizing Leaf Raking or Blowing Fall Cleanup Snow Plowing/ Shoveling Drywall • Spackling • Painting & a Variety of Other Services Call for Details Licensed and Fully Insured Chrin Hauling Family Owned & Operated Temporary Roll Off Service Municipal, Industrial, Commercial & Residential Clean Up Service Containers from 10-35 Cubic Yards Front Load Container Service Collection Disposal and Recycling Service Containers from 2-8 Cubic Yards Call 1-866-881-2476 • www.chrin.org Sunday, September 27 • Demolition • Private Home Cleanouts • Foreclosure Removals Yes We Can remove it www.bhsmallengine.com Located at Sugar Hollow Farms - Effort Servicing and Repairing Mowers, Lawn & Garden Tractors, Generators, Snowblowers, etc. Serving PA & NJ Keep Your Outdoor Power Equipment Running Strong.

This process establishes the plant, so it starts growing earlier the next spring and produces brighter and bolder colors.” Dimitrov suggests that for most gardeners, border perennials are probably most useful in a mixed border, interplanted with low-growing shrubs that may or may not lose their foliage in winter. Mixed borders allow woody plants to add structure, height, texture and yearlong interest to the garden. Make A Plan When determining which perennials to use, it’s important to consider the overall size of a garden, the amount of sun it gets, and the climate. To create continuity of interest, choose plants that bloom at different times during a season. Height is an important factor. Dimitrov suggests using taller plants at the back of a border or bed, with the lowest perennials at the front. In shade-challenged beds, consider using drought-tolerant plants, or those with low water requirements. For a dynamic sweep of color every spring, plant snowdrop, crocus, tulip and daffodil bulbs when the ground has cooled sufficiently. Add edible interest by planting perennial fruits such as blackberries, raspberries and strawberries. Garlic is also easy to grow, richly flavored and will keep up to 10 months after harvest.

Brush or hose off leaves, grass and mud. Gently tip your walk-behind mower on its side to spray the underbody. If debris is caught on the blade, use a stick or tool to remove it-never use your hands. • Use a fuel stabilizer. Never store your lawn equipment with a partially full fuel tank. Either run the equipment out of fuel or use fuel stabilizer in a full tank of fuel. Add Advanced Formula Fuel Treatment and Stabilizer according to the package directions. Then-and this is important-run the mower for a few minutes so the stabilizer circulates through the carburetor. The stabilizer keeps fuel fresh for up to six months. Turn off the engine and completely fill the gas tank. A full tank will help prevent moisture from condensing in the tank, which can form rust that could break away and clog the carburetor. • Store your mower in a dry, protected place such as your garage or a garden shed.
