You can smell it in the air - summer is ending and once again we discuss those last minute seeding and winterizing processes. We also dive in to talking fern beds, nitrogen addition, coloration of your lawn, white spruce troubleshooting, crabgrass issues, raking vs. leaving those leaves and brush out into the winter, Creeping Charlies, getting blueberries planted before its too late, dormant seeding - that and more with University of Minnesota Horticulturist Mary Meyer and University of Minnesota Turfgrass expert Eric Watkins.
