Q&A: Harvesting Tomatillos Question: How can I tell when my tomatillos are ripe? Do they change color or become soft?
Answer: Harvest your tomatillos when the light-brown papery husk has folded back to reveal the golden berry. Very ripe fruits will begin dropping to the ground. Check your plant frequently--when you see fruits with the husk folded back or you see fallen fruit, it's time to harvest! |

Q&A: Caring for St. Augustine Grass Question: Is it beneficial to aerate and dethatch St. Augustine grass?
Answer: Aerating St. Augustine can be beneficial to the turf. Dethatching, however, is too damaging as St. Augustine spreads by aboveground runners and the dethatching machines can do significant damage.
St. Augustine rarely has a thatch problem. Overwatering, overfertilizing and excessive use of fungicides can contribute to a thatch problem, but proper lawn care almost never results in excessive thatch buildup in St. Augustine. |

Tip: Fertilize Bulbs Fertilize spring flowering bulbs such as tulips now. Use a balanced formula fertilizer such as 9-9-6 placing a handful in each planting hole or scratch it into the surface of the soil on established beds. |
