If your flower beds are getting thin in places, sow seeds of
dwarf French marigolds or another fast-growing annual. The seeds
usually sprout quickly, and the plants come into bloom in eight
to ten weeks. Blueberries, raspberries, and blackberries may
look like they're growing quietly, but they're already laying
down the cells that will be next year's flowers. Feed berries
with an organic or timed-release fertilizer to help energize
this important process. If you tend to mow your grass in the
same direction over and over, do it differently. Mow in diagonal
lines for a change, which alters the pattern of the clippings
left behind. This will mean more even fertility for your lawn,
and a reduced risk of thatch buildup along mowing lines. If you
have a pile where you've been throwing weeds and trimmings all
summer, turn it into a proper compost heap. Mix in some fresh
grass clippings and a 5-pound bag of the cheapest dog food you
can find. Turn daily for a week to get it steaming hot. Start
