- Still time to plant Daffodil bulbs for spring blooms, as well as Hyacinths, Crocus and Tulips.
- Fertilize Pansies.
- Prune Evergreen plants now. Use Juniper, Holly, Magnolia and Fir cuttings in wreaths, table and mantle pieces for the holidays.
- Plant woody vines like Carolina Jessamine, American Wisteria and Cross Vine now. Perfect for pergolas, trellises and arbors.
- Cut off dry stems and foliage of Hostas, Purple Coneflowers, Black-eyed Susans, and other perennials that die back after the first frost.
- Remove low hanging and damaged limbs from trees. Prune away some of the crowded limbs along the trunk of Bradford Pear trees.
- Plant balled and burlapped trees now. Plant in a hole dug at least twice as wide as the rootball.
- Don't forget the birds. Put out feeders with thistle seed to attract yellow finches. Sunflower seed is recommended for general feeding.
- Keep holiday plants in the coolest indoor spot possible or the flowers and leaves will drop prematurely.
- For the holidays, try something new such as Heather, White Hydrangeas, red and white Azaleas and Amaryllis.
