Last update: 12 hours agoLate-Summer Garden Glow: As borders can look bare heading into fall, one popular Labor Day pick is Wayfair’s solar “firework” lights—stake-in, automatically on at dusk, and sold as a set of six with multiple modes. Late-Summer Bloom Surprise: Spider lilies (Lycoris) are showing up in late summer/early fall, popping up seemingly overnight after rain, with two main types worth knowing. HOA vs. Veggie Dreams: One gardener says an HOA ban on permanent structures pushed them into a bucket-and-container setup that spiraled into a full-on vegetable patch. Mulch for Less: Bagged mulch isn’t the only option—shredded leaves and wood chips can do the job for moisture, weeds, and soil health. Plant Health Watch: Garlic rust is flagged as a fast-spreading fungal problem; early removal of affected leaves and better growing conditions are key. Garden Tech: Sunseeker’s next robot mowers at IFA 2026 tout LiDAR mapping and obstacle recognition, aiming to reduce remapping and intervention. Community & Events: UC San Diego Master Gardeners’ Fall Plant Sale is set for Sept. 12 in Balboa Park, plus a Sept. 5 tomato tasting contest in Sutter Creek.
