Saturday-Sunday: Moon in the sign of Scorpio – Plant Seasonal Color …Seasonal color such as Salvia, Vinca, Marigolds and others, planted now will continue blooming into the late fall or early winter.

Later in the Week:

Tuesday/ Wednesday: Moon in the sign of Taurus – Water compost, and fertilize

…Color bowls and other containers of color should be feed every two weeks unless you’re using a time-release fertilizer. With every watering, nutrients are lost.

Other 'ToDo' things:

… Do not let Camellias go dry in hot, warm weather as they have surface roots. Those plants that do go dry bloom poorly the following spring, as it's now that the bud development is taking place.

... And finally, to prevent the annual fall visit from raccoons, apply Beneficial Nematodes to turf and other areas that are perennial feeding grounds.
