What to plant Bedding Plants: Create a display of fall colors with cool season plants. Some to try are impatiens, straw ower, cape daisy, and pansy.
Bulbs: Many bulbs like to get their start in cool weather. Bulbs to plant this month include amaryllis, crinum, and the many varieties of elephant’s ear.
Herbs: Continue planting herbs from seeds or plants. A wide variety of herbs like cooler, dryer weather, including cilantro, dill, fennel, parsley, sage, and thyme.
Vegetables: Continue planting cool season crops such as beet, broccoli, cabbage, carrot, kale, and lettuce.
What to do Perennials: Divide and replant overgrown perennials, ornamental grasses, and bulbs now so that they establish before the coolest weather arrives.
Fungal disease: Until May, watch for brown patch and large patch, fungal diseases that cause areas of grass to turn brown. Since treatment is dif cult, prevention with proper cultural practices is key.
Scale on ornamental plants: Now that temperatures are lower, use dormant oil sprays to control scale insects.
Irrigation: Plants need less supplemental watering in cooler weather. Turn off systems and water only if needed.
Fertilization and Irrigation Needs of Florida Lawns and Landscapes
Poinsettias: Watch for hornworms on poinsettias planted in the landscape. This pest can quickly defoliate a plant; handpick or treat only the area infested.
Lawns: This is a great time to plant ryegrass to cover bare patches in the lawn.
