uh jm6 weekender october 10 1987 by elaine gordon the marriage of cooler days and autumns panorama of colour is a dandy excuse for enjoying the last of this invigorating season of rustling leaves perhaps some of the following suggestions to help mother na ture put gardens to bed may need inclusion on your housekeep ing checklist young standards and trees be nefit from adequate support to re sist storm damage so check those stakes for sturdiness to ensure they havent rotted underground adjust existing ties to accommo date past growth and seal wounds with tree dressing support for new trees can be given simply by cutting sections from an old hose or skipping rope and inserting the wire through the middle before circling the trunk and tying to stakes never use wire alone as it cuts into the bark use this idea around wire handled pails to make the carrying of heavy objects more comfortable on the hands too in areas prone to rodents wrap the lower third of young trunks with protective guards so hungry pests wont injure them by nib bling on bark remove the wrap next spring give lawns a fall feeding before midnovember and keep on rak ing those leaves grass must breathe too

foliage back to en courage new growth and place in a sunny window fertilizer bags are best stored in a dry area and gasoline and chemicals placed safely out of harms way from little hands an old skateboard or shovel used as a sled for moving heavy bags of soil and fertilizer is a back saver dont forget to repair and fill the bird feeder our feathered friends misguided robins that chose not to journey south with summer watching these winged musi cians is addictive and yards will be atwitter with the establish ment of a second feeding station be sure to choose a location where they have refuge from predators dont throw out that cracked birdbath recycle it next spring as a container for trailing lobelia and other annuals help fend off disease and leave insects homeless over winter by removing weary annuals tidy up vegetable beds borders and cut back withered perennial foliage to ground level everything will certainly look nicer and youll have a jump on spring cleaning give a protective mulch after a penetrating frost to newly- planted perennials and bulb areas summer flowering tender bulbs like gladioli dahlias cannas and tuberous begonias cant survive if left in the earth when leaves are yellowed and flattened gently lift and store accordingly in a cool dry spot indoors dont forget to label them with the whos who in colors and check periodically throughout winter
