Evenings are finally starting to be more enjoyable, maybe even a little chilly, which means fall is coming! Fall is one of my favorite seasons for so many reasons, including fall color that can be so amazing in our landscapes. It is sometimes hard to get good fall color in Nebraska, but when we do get good fall color, it is worth the wait.

It’s hard to believe that we are already in late August. Husker football will soon begin, and the weather will start to cool off. That doesn’t mean that we are done with our lawns and gardens for the season. There are many things we can do now through the next couple of months to get plants ready for winter dormancy and help them thrive next year. But don’t get too excited, there are also plenty of things to wait on, correct timing is very important.
Nemaha County 4-H State Fair results are now available online. Congratulations Nemaha County 4-H'ers on a job well done!
We have had some very hot days recently! This can be quite harmful to our plants in the garden as well as our trees and shrubs.
As a gardener it is always hard to admit when fall starts to get closer. We don’t want our growing season to end! Not to fear, there are ways to continue gardening into October and November, giving us plenty more time to garden.
As we move into the heat of the summer, we need to remember proper irrigation practices for our plants. It is just as easy to overwater as it is to underwater plants. And remember that irrigation practices differ among all different types of plants.
