Fall Lawn Care: Does Your Lawn Still Need Water?

Cooler weather doesn’t automatically mean it’s time to turn off your sprinklers!

As temperatures drop in Southern Utah, lawns generally need less frequent irrigation. How quickly you reduce watering depends on the weather, soil conditions, grass type, and your location.

💧 Fall watering tips:

Adjust your irrigation schedule as temperatures cool.

Check soil moisture before watering.

Watch for signs of drought stress in your lawn.

Reduce watering as grass growth slows and seasonal conditions change.

🌿 Remember: Water according to your lawn’s needs, not just the calendar. Adjusting your irrigation as the seasons change can help conserve water while keeping your lawn healthy.

Have you adjusted your sprinklers for fall yet?

🍂 Help Your Winter Squash Last Longer!

As crisp autumn days arrive and the garden winds down for the season, it's time to bring in the harvest and prepare your winter squash for months of enjoyment! A few simple storage tips can help preserve your homegrown bounty.

🎃 Tips for Storing Winter Squash

🍁 Choose carefully. Select mature squash with firm, intact skins and no cuts, soft spots, or signs of mold.
🌡️ Store in a cool place. A cool, dry location around 50–55°F is a good storage target for many winter squash varieties.
💧 Keep it dry. Moisture can encourage mold and decay, so avoid storing squash in damp areas.
🧺 Handle with care. Bruises and damaged skins can shorten storage life. Handle your squash gently and check stored squash regularly for signs of spoilage.
🌱 Know your squash. Curing recommendations vary by type, so check your variety's specific needs before curing. Not all winter squash should be treated the same way!
