Priscilla’s Garden To-Do List for December

You are here:

Bring all garden tools, hoses and equipment indoors to a garage, shed or basement
Drain and store hoses to prolong life
Cut winter greens for decorating
Quickly plant any forgotten bulbs while the ground is unfrozen
Put up snow poles to mark your driveway for plowing
Stock up on Safe Paw ice melt that does not harm your plants or your pets’ paws
Allow branches of shrubs and trees to emerge naturally from snow and ice loads, as pulling on woody stems may cause breakage in cold temperatures
Put the garden “to bed” when conditions are right (see article above), gathering needed materials in advance
Take a break and turn to activities beyond the garden!
