Autumn's
chill a signal to bring plants in
As overnight temperatures approach the freezing point, gardeners should consider
which plants to discard, which to store over the winter and which to use as houseplants.
Taste
it
For the flavor of fall, sprinkle baked squash, sweet potatoes or apples with
chopped nuts.
Prepare
for lush lawn next spring
Weed-free turf beautifies and adds greater usefulness to home landscapes, recreational
areas, and public and industrial grounds. This is an important time to fertilize
and it's the best time to apply broadleaf herbicides.
The
perfect time to plant bulbs

How
to select, store, prepare and preserve apples
Store apples in a cool place
below 50 degrees Fahrenheit during the fall following harvest. After this
time, they deteriorate rapidly and should be kept in the refrigerator.
An
apple a day
Apples are a good source of fiber, especially if you eat the
peel, and they contain only a trace of sodium and fat. They are a dieter's
dream--a medium apple is only about 80 calories. We are lucky in Missouri
to have a good supply of fresh apples.
