November Winterization Checklist

Well, the winter months are upon us, and there are some last items you can do to complete your garden winterization - everything you do toward winterizing your garden in fall helps smooth the way for a healthy, beautiful growing season next year.

Here is the November check-list from Landscape Ontario!

November:

• Fertilize your lawn

• Divide spring and summer blooming perennial plants.

• Turn off outside water connections. Drain garden hoses.

• Buy bulbs to force for winter.

• Continue watering trees and shrubs until the ground freezes.

• Wrap screening around fruit tree trunks to protect from small animals.

• Mulch rose bushes.

• Clean fallen leaves in downspouts and gutters.
