Fall Gardening with The Village
The cold weather is moving in! Gardening in Northern Nevada can be tricky with our high-desert climate swings from blazing summers to frosty winters in the blink of an eye.
But fall is actually one of the best times to get ahead and prepare your yard for success next spring. Now’s the time to winterize your lawn, garden, and landscape so your soil holds on to those essential nutrients.
Adding compost and mulch before the freeze helps insulate roots and enriches the soil as everything rests through the colder months. Unlike the heat and stress of summer, fall’s milder weather allows grass seedlings to grow steadily without battling intense sun or drought.
It’s the perfect window for reseeding bare patches and encouraging deep, healthy roots that will burst into life when spring returns.
