Do you know about the SECOND PEAK SEASON FOR TICK ACTIVITY?😲 Adults have a second peak season in the fall. Here in New England, adult deer ticks re-emerged in force for the fall season right around October 15th. These ticks will be active for at least another month, or until the ground is covered in snow.
FALL IS A GOOD TIME TO HAVE YOUR SOIL TESTED to determine if liming is needed to raise soil pH (most New England soils have low pH). Low soil pH affects nutrient availability to the plants. Applying lime now allows sufficient time for soil reactions to occur to correct acidity levels for the next growing season.
REMOVE NEW FLOWERS ON TOMATO PLANTS. Tomato fruits require eight to nine weeks to ripen after flower set. Flowers that form in August will not have enough time to ripen before frost. Removing flower clusters that form in August will give the remaining fruit a greater chance to ripen.
