Putting Your Garden to Bed
You might be done gardening for the season, but there is still work to do. A little work now will give your garden a great start for spring planting. Here are some simple steps to get your garden ready for its cozy winter slumber.
Extending the Growing Season
It’s that time. Frost is here. I know it’s sad, but there is hope. You can extend the growing season to continue your harvest well into the winter.
Mini Maters
This year I went a little crazy with tomatoes. I have close to fifty plants in my garden. I had hoped for a bumper crop that I could freeze and can for future use, but this hasn’t been the best growing season. My tomatoes are ripening at a smaller size than typically expected and ripening more slowly at that. Also, some of them are developing splits in the skin are this last round of much needed rain.
Beat the Heat
The Dog Days of Summer are upon us, and for many gardeners this means that we will be extra busy. Attempting to nurse your landscape through a heat wave may sometimes seem like a futile task. As many lawns turn a crispy brown and flowers start to wither under the scorching heat, there are a few steps that can be taken to prevent cooking your plants.
