November is the time to clean up the vegetable garden, protect your soil, perennials and any cool weather crops you want to continue harvesting and record the year’s events to be prepared to capitalize on your learning next spring.
October is glorious in the ornamental garden, but it is also one of the busiest months for gardeners.
As the frost approaches we finalize our planting and harvests and prepare our beds and perennial plants for winter.
Summer is coming to an end, but weeds are still growing, plants still need to be watered, and the garden needs to be kept tidy.
It’s a busy month for edibles gardeners
These may be the lazy, hazy days of August, but the weeds, pests, and diseases in your ornamental garden still need your attention.
It may be a bit sweaty, but August edible gardening includes the joy of harvesting summer vegetables and the satisfaction of planting fall crops while contemplating the shorter, cooler days ahead.
The summer growing season is in its heyday!
As any gardener knows from experience, July’s heat and humidity can dampen our enthusiasm for working in the garden.
