AGP Executive Report
Last update: 2 hours agoPest Watch: Stink bugs are moving indoors as nights cool, drawn by light and warmth; sealing cracks and cutting back on entry-point lighting can help, while gardeners should expect some fruit and crop nibbling. Lawn & Soil Care: Monty Don and the RHS both warn against overdoing late-season lawn work—keep mowing only as needed, let grass run a bit longer, then rake out thatch and moss for healthier spring growth. Fall Planting & Timing: October is still prime for getting hardy annuals and cool-season crops established, and for planting trees, shrubs, and perennials so roots settle before winter. Community Green Spaces: Solon, Ohio is creating a “mini-forest” by planting 1,000+ native trees and shrubs on a former vacant lot. Native Plants: Scappoose Bay Watershed Council’s Fall Native Plant Sale returns Oct. 10 with 50+ local species and on-site advice. Wildlife-Friendly Gardening: A reminder that rabbits can cause distinctive clipped stems and gnaw marks—proper identification is key before choosing control. Tool Talk: Leaf-clearing gets easier with the right rake/sweeper or leaf mulcher, turning piles into compost-ready material.
