- To prevent
winter burn on your broadleaf
evergreens - spray them with
Cloud Cover®.
Make sure the temperature
is above 40 degrees and use
on azaleas, rhododendron,
laurels, euonymus, photinia,
holly and oregon grape.
- As shrubs
and perennials go dormant,
clean your garden beds, removing
any spent flower heads and
dying foliage or branches.
Remove summer blooming annuals
and vegetables as frost kills
them. Leave dried foliage
of ornamental grasses for
an interesting winter effect.
Fall clean-up eliminates places
for insects and diseases to
over-winter.
- Mulch
garden beds in preparation
for winter. Mulching helps
conserve moisture as well
as maintain more even soil
temperatures. In areas where
the ground experiences frequent
freezing and thawing, this
is particularly important.
- Plant a
live Christmas Tree as part
of a windbreak.
- Remember
that gardening is not just
confined to outside. Start
an herb garden on a sunny
windowsill. Bring color and
texture to your living room,
kitchen, bedroom, bathroom
– anywhere - with blooming
and foliage houseplants.
- Trees,
shrubs, perennials, groundcover
and bulbs can still be planted
as long as the ground is not
frozen.
- Remember,
spring is just around the
corner! Plan next Spring's
flower and vegetable gardens…Our
seeds will be arriving in
January!
