Hi Bonnie,
Are you growing things in your gardens this winter? Or do you use the fertilizer to amend/improve the soil?
If so, you don't need to use fertilizer this time of year. Fertilizer is best for plant health. If you want to improve the soils, you can use chopped up leaves, grass clippings, compost, etc. You can add it and let it sit on top for the winter, incorporating it next spring, or work it into the soil this fall.
