What Types Of Gardening Is Done In Fall In Louisiana?

My family and I live in Louisiana and we live in the central part of the state. I will be talking about what we do in the month of September.

Cool-season plants are planted in September, but October may be a better month to plant many cool-season annuals but the petunias like to be planted in September. A couple of different types of petunias are Wave and 'Tidal Wave'. Some other bedding plants for the fall planting here are violas, pansies, stock, snapdragons, calendars, cabbage, and flowering kale.

The next thing that we need to do is we clean out all of the debris from my warm-season  garden and prepare the garden for the planting in October.


My gladiolus foliage has been waiting for me for a month or so  I need to dig up the corns and store them, and I will be replanting the large corns next March.

The Louisiana iris needs to be cut back now. The foliage on these plants should be cut back during this time of year which is in late summer.

Now is the time for us  to get our beds prepare for  bulb-planting season, because  we do this in one month. Most of the traditional bulbs that we grow here needs to have a well-drained, porous soil with having it where the beds is easy to work in the best thing is raised beds.
We plant our garden mums in September  and October here in central Louisiana. We have a wide assortment of different colors to choose from, which are, lavender, yellow, pink, white, bronze, orange, red, and salmon. The flowers usually grow between one to three inches across and they will last about six weeks in the garden. When we are watering our mums we make sure that the water stay at the soil line. We add one inch layer pine straw  around them.

We try to have our roses prune, but if not, we try to do it the first week of September. We cut  the canes back to about twenty-four inches above the bud union.

September is a month that we do our lawn care. This is when you put fertilizer down on the lawn to get the lawn through the winter.
In September, it is time to planted several different vegetables for our fall garden. They are spinach, garlic, lettuce, beets, broccoli, Brussels  sprouts, turnips,  kale, radishes, snow beans,  mustard, snap beans, and collards.

In September, it is time to harvest our pumpkins just in time for Halloween and fall. We leave three inches of the stem that is attached to the fruit.

Some of the lettuce varieties, that grow good here are 'Minetto,' 'Lake Superior', and 'Great Lakes 659'.
We   also plant our herbs in our garden now.

September here in Louisiana is a great time to enjoy our yard.It is not real hot and the humility is low, so it is nice.

It is time to transplant my cabbage, Chinese cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, and Brussels sprouts. What we do is  plant different vegetables from seeds which some of them are parsley, carrots, peas, radishes, and  many more.

Fall is the best time to plant trees and shrubs in October.

So to be living here in Louisiana, we can have a garden year round, pretty flowers, all kinds of fruit trees and so much more.
