Must-Do Garden and Yard Reminders for November
November 17th, 2013
Greenwood’s Must-Do Garden and Yard Reminders for November are:
- Drain and roll up all garden hoses
- Cover/insulate outside faucets that are not frost proof
- Clean and store outdoor furniture, summer lights, seasonal fountains and decorations
- Check oil and gas in mower and other equipment – How To
- Clean and oil (light coat) garden tools to prevent rust
- Pull weeds so they don’t go to seed (weed seed can lie in the soil for 3 to 5 years before germinating)
- Prune Knockout Roses (in northern climates wait for them to drop their leaves – then remove leaves from base and wrap with burlap or place protective cones over)
- Cut back (or use a weed eater) flowering perennials including butterfly bushes
- Place a fresh layer of mulch (shredded bark, aged compost or aged manure mix) around tender perennials and shrubs for winter insulation
- Remove dead annuals
