We have had such a warm and sunny fall this year but winter is just around the corner. It is time to get those last chores done in the garden. Here is a short list of outside jobs to focus on.
1. Cut back to stubble the perennials that do not look good over the winter. (Leave the Butterfly Bush up until spring.)
2. Disconnect garden hoses from the spigots and drain the water from them.
3. Pack up any herbicides, pesticides, or other items that will be harmed if frozen. Store in a sealed container inside.
4. Put away any garden art that could be harmed with the colder temperatures.
5. If you have a water feature, remove the pump and store for the winter.
Get busy now while Mother Nature is still being kind to us!
