What’s on Your Gardening To Do List?
Do you even HAVE a gardening to do list for November and December? No?
Many gardeners are enjoying a much-needed respite from dirt and seeds and focuses are turned elsewhere during this time. We are coming up upon the darkest day of the year…and then the good news is we start moving our way toward longer days immediately!
Are you ready to start thinking about the new gardening season that will be here in a few months? Some time of eager anticipation and planning will do wonders for getting you in the mood…I promise!
You could still even be planting spring bulbs if your ground isn’t frozen yet!
Or…how about starting an herb garden indoors under a grow light? Or…forcing some bulbs indoors? My paperwhites are within days of blooming and I cannot wait!
It is definitely time to make sure that everything is cut back the way it should be and that your tender plants are tucked in with a good layer of mulch if you haven’t done so yet.
THEN…treat yourself to some dreaming and planning. Get out those gardening catalogs and magazines and start thinking about the great things you might grow next season. Maybe you want to make a new flowerbed or rearrange things somewhat. It’s always a good idea to change your vegetable garden layout from year to year and now would be an ideal time to plant next season’s planting layout. Peruse the catalogs and find something new you’ve never grown before. Oh…the possibilities are endless!
The more you dream the faster the winter will go!
