Bermuda
lawns can be kept green all
winter by sowing rye grass on
top of the Bermuda. This custom
is well-known in the southern
states. The Bermuda will
go dormant with cool weather
but next spring will wake up
again. Rye grass is low-priced
and will keep your lawn green
over the winter. For a complete
renovating job, however,
it is best to sow a high grade
mixture which does not contain
rye.
If space is lacking in your
garden for a wide planting of
bulbs then grow them in pots.
Several varieties are available
and you will really gain much
from this type of gardening.
Buy your bulbs now while dealers
still have a satisfactory assortment.
Watch soil moisture carefully.
Natural rains during
fall are not enough to keep
plants going. Mulches of peat
will tend to keep the soil moist
for a fairly long period of time.
To a certain extent this reduces
your water bill.
