Well, It's November. And unfortunately for those of you that have been around here for awhile you know what that means....the ending of another year and the end of these Newsletters until spring.
I know, I know.....it's a sad time for all of us. But take heart in the fact that it's also a great time to relax a bit and let the mind and body rejuvenate over the winter. Ahhh winter....no more grass cutting, no more weeds to pull, no moles, no mosquitoes, no running around to soccer and baseball games.....Ahhhh winter....a time to just lay back for a change and plan ahead for next years spring projects.
However, if you still have some excess energy, there are a few things you can do yet this fall in preparation for next spring.
1. Plant trees. Again this is the perfect time of year to plant trees especially evergreens.....HINT!
2. Don't forget to drain your fountain/s if you are a proud owner. Remember to take out the pump, drain all the water, let it dry out, stuff it with a bunch of rags or burlap or anything absorbent and cover tightly with a tarp or plastic.
3. Make sure all your plants are mulched in well just in case we have a repeat of last winter's polar vortex. You want to keep your plants all warm and snugly you know!
4. You can prune now if you like since we have had a couple of hard frosts and a good freeze or wait until spring.
5. And lastly, sometime before the end of the month and after your last mowing don't forget to apply your fall lawn fertilizer to make your grass all tingly and happy come spring.
Oh.....and remember
We are still here working on taking our winter cuttings,
finishing up on quite a few landscaping installs and a host of other end of season tasks. So if you need something please don't hesitate to call and come by. You know....Gift Certificates are a great Christmas gift!!
