Applications of lime can be made at this time if a soil test indicates that it is a necessity. Optimum pH level is 6.5
Houseplants should be moved indoors before the first frost. Although most can tolerate some cool nights, tender varieties like African Violet and Spathiphyllum will not.

Hi Jim - I live in Chelmsford & last night (10/17) we had our first frost. Can I start to mulch specimens in my garden, or should I wait a couple of weeks. I usually mulch heuchera (seems to do better when I do), gaura, cocosmia, and of course my roses. Thanks!

Unless the plant is overdue for transplanting, early spring would be a better time. The increase volume of soil will provide substantially higher levels of moisture that would not be utilized during the winter season.

Hi Jim - How long do I have to repot my house plants this fall? I know at some point I should wait till spring, but I'm not sure when that is. Thanks!
