KATHY'S HOME & GARDEN TIPS - FALL TO-DO LIST
Take advantage of the cooler
weather and
weed your garden now. Use
weed control on areas that are especially
troublesome.
Rake and blow the leaves off
the lawn. Leaving the leaves on the grass is not good for the lawn.
Put down a good winterizer
fertilizer. This will help the grass endure the cold Chicago winter and have a good start in the
spring.
Put away your outdoor
furniture. Leaving seat cushions out to get rained and snowed on will
definitely shorten their life.
Clean off the deck and
porches around your house. Sweep out underneath and above. Scrub with a general household cleaner and
hose down.
Make sure any outside drains
are clean and clear. These drains keep water from getting into the house. With
all the rain in the fall we need to know all the gutters, downspouts and drains
are functioning properly.
