September Gardening Tips - Colorado 

  Keep your yard and garden in top shape with these timely and seasonal gardening tips.

• If rain is little or late, keep plants irrigated with water-wise techniques.
  
  
• Fertilize lawns with an organic fertilizer that will encourage root development during winter months.
  
  
• Transplant new growth into pots for winter use.
  
  
• As the weather cools, begin to plant spring flowering bulbs.  Plant tulips in late October.
  
  
• Fertilize roses and begin to plant lilies.  Don't mulch lilies until ground freezes.
  
  
• Sow beets, carrots, lettuce, radishes, rutabaga, spinach, and turnips.
  
  
• Till spent annuals, and compost with fallen leaves.
  
  
• Collect seed from perennials and annuals.
