OCTOBER
There’s nothing like the gorgeous red, gold and orange leaves against a bright blue October sky…unfortunately though, one good windy day could have most of them covering the ground. You’ll want to keep up with raking to prevent the leaves from matting, this will suffocate your lawn.
While you're at the nursery, scope out end-of-season clearance sales on most plants. West of the Cascades, pleasant days, cooling nights and still-warm soil temperatures promote strong and rapid root growth; you'll be amazed at the growth even a little 4-inch perennial can put on over the winter. By next summer a plant could easily double in size.
Spiders and moths will be looking for warm winter abodes now. To discourage them, spray insect repellant around your foundation, windows and vents (while closed, of course).
Roll up your hoses, bring them inside and get ready to wrap your pipes for the winter!
Pending home sales declined in July but remain well above year-ago levels...
11742 Meridian Ave N, Seattle

Release Date: September 21, 2011
Information received since the Federal Open Market Committee met in August indicates that economic growth remains slow. Recent indicators point to continuing weakness in overall labor market conditions, and the unemployment rate remains elevated. Household spending has been increasing at only a modest pace in recent months despite some recovery in sales of motor vehicles as supply-chain disruptions eased. Investment in nonresidential structures is still weak, and the housing sector remains depressed. However, business investment in equipment and software continues to expand. Inflation appears to have moderated since earlier in the year as prices of energy and some commodities have declined from their peaks. Longer-term inflation expectations have remained stable.
Consistent with its statutory mandate, the Committee seeks to foster maximum employment and price stability. The Committee continues to expect some pickup in the pace of recovery over coming quarters but anticipates that the unemployment rate will decline only gradually toward levels that the Committee judges to be consistent with its dual mandate. Moreover, there are significant downside risks to the economic outlook, including strains in global financial markets. The Committee also anticipates that inflation will settle, over coming quarters, at levels at or below those consistent with the Committee's dual mandate as the effects of past energy and other commodity price increases dissipate further. However, the Committee will continue to pay close attention to the evolution of inflation and inflation expectations.
To support a stronger economic recovery and to help ensure that inflation, over time, is at levels consistent with the dual mandate, the Committee decided today to extend the average maturity of its holdings of securities. The Committee intends to purchase, by the end of June 2012, $400 billion of Treasury securities with remaining maturities of 6 years to 30 years and to sell an equal amount of Treasury securities with remaining maturities of 3 years or less. This program should put downward pressure on longer-term interest rates and help make broader financial conditions more accommodative. The Committee will regularly review the size and composition of its securities holdings and is prepared to adjust those holdings as appropriate.
To help support conditions in mortgage markets, the Committee will now reinvest principal payments from its holdings of agency debt and agency mortgage-backed securities in agency mortgage-backed securities. In addition, the Committee will maintain its existing policy of rolling over maturing Treasury securities at auction.
The Committee also decided to keep the target range for the federal funds rate at 0 to 1/4 percent and currently anticipates that economic conditions--including low rates of resource utilization and a subdued outlook for inflation over the medium run--are likely to warrant exceptionally low levels for the federal funds rate at least through mid-2013.
The Committee discussed the range of policy tools available to promote a stronger economic recovery in a context of price stability. It will continue to assess the economic outlook in light of incoming information and is prepared to employ its tools as appropriate.
Voting for the FOMC monetary policy action were: Ben S. Bernanke, Chairman; William C. Dudley, Vice Chairman; Elizabeth A. Duke; Charles L. Evans; Sarah Bloom Raskin; Daniel K. Tarullo; and Janet L. Yellen. Voting against the action were Richard W. Fisher, Narayana Kocherlakota, and Charles I. Plosser, who did not support additional policy accommodation at this time.

SEPTEMBER
There are some very important chores in this busy gardening month. You’ll need to pull up dying summer annuals, plant new fall annuals and sew spring seeds and bulbs. In flowerbeds, add amendments such as compost, gypsum, iron, etc. for good soil next spring. Soil tests can tell you what your soil lacks.
This is also a good time to look over the tools and patio & lawn furniture. Get ready to put them away in good condition by the end of September. Repair, grease and sharpen tools as needed before storing them for the winter. You’ll thank yourself next spring!
Most experts agree that September is the best month to aerate, dethatch, overseed and fertilize your lawn. Cooler weather and fall rain promote root growth before hard winter sets in. If you do all the steps listed above, DO NOT use a regular fertilizer…use a lawn-starting fertilizer formula.
Stay tuned for October gardening tips!
