Bruce Spangenberg column: Plant hormones change with seasons (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Signs of autumn are found throughout the yard and garden. Leaves turn color, fruit ripens and plants go dormant. The calendar tells us fall is here, but how do plants know when to undergo these changes and be ready for the dormant winter season ahead? In northern climates like Wisconsin, plants need to match active growth with optimum growing conditions and inactive growth, or dormancy, with adverse conditions. This is controlled through hormones — organic compounds produced internally that chan
Bruce Spangenberg column: Bluestems enhance fall landscape (opens the original)
Read excerpt
As seasons change, different plants take center stage in the landscape. Now that fall is arriving, late-blooming perennials move into the spotlight. This group of plants includes warm season native ornamental grasses. Two popular species across Wisconsin landscapes are little bluestem and big bluestem. Although they have the same common name and both are native to Midwest prairies, they are entirely distinct species. Little bluestem is botanically known as Schizachyrium scoparium, typically reac
Bruce Spangenberg column: Assessing flower and vegetable performance (opens the original)
Read excerpt
September marks the transition from summer to fall, and with it the growing season winds down. As crops and flowers fade away, assessing how things went this growing season provides a head start on next year.

One of the key disease management tools is crop rotation, or planting crops in new locations within the garden from season to
Bruce Spangenberg column: Labor Day optimum time for fertilizing (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Labor Day is the optimum time for fertilizing lawns in Wisconsin. Regardless of the maintenance level program followed on a lawn, it will benefit from an early fall application of nitrogen. Nitrogen is the primary nutrient lawn grasses need on an annual basis. Nitrogen not only contributes to green color but promotes grass plant development that helps maintain a thick stand of grass. Not only do thicker lawns look better and hold up to foot traffic, but they also resist encroachment of weeds. Th
Bruce Spangenberg column: Aerating and overseeding lawns (opens the original)
Read excerpt
Early fall is just around the corner, and prime time for many lawn care practices comes with it. Two practices that pay big dividends for many Wisconsin lawns are overseeding and core aerating. Each needs to be done correctly for optimum results, and both have limitations on what they do. Overseeding, as the name implies, is adding seed over an existing lawn with the purpose of filling in thin areas. Two crucial factors influence this practice. First, it is important to assess why the lawn thinn
