Winter Tips and Specials
Posted on November 30, 2017 at 1:16 PM |
Welcome to winter! The rain has started and going outside has now turned into a
dreary and ugly chore for all. I’ve gathered a few ideas and tips as well as
preventative measures that are needed to sustain the health of your garden.
Hopefully these suggestions help you get through your “to do” list faster so
that you can get back inside and stay dry! FERTILIZE
Your garden may be going into dormancy but it still needs food to make it till
spring. By fertilizing your lawn and plant beds you can avoid a mushy brown
lawn in the spring and keep your plants strong. During the cold and rainy
season plants could weaken and develop diseases or be made susceptible to pest
problems in the spring. Avoid the loss of plant material or having to renovate
your lawn and feed your garden multiple times per year. CUT BACK PERENNIALS
Plants that die back in the winter and pop back up in the spring are called
perennials. They should be cut back when they turn brown. While green, they
store energy for the winter months and if cut back at the proper time and fed a
good fertilizer, perennials will come back to treat you with their beauty next
spring. PICK UP LEAVES
Leaves left on a lawn over the winter will turn your lawn to a mushy mess. This
week and the next few to come should be perfect for leaf removal. Remove leaves
before they are too wet or decomposed and they are easier to pick up and haul
out. Perennial cuttings and leaves can be left in the plant beds for a little
longer and can serve as mulch. In the late winter early spring, remove the
leaves so that you are not creating a nesting area for pests or mildew and add
mulch if you did not do so in the fall. MULCH The
winter rain downpours and snow can strip the soil of nutrients and the life out
of your plants. Now is the best time of year to mulch your plant beds, cover up
those plant roots and give them a chance to winter over. A nutrient rich mulch
is always what I recommend for fall and winter. A dark nutrient mulch will have
the benefit of feeding your plants while keeping them warm with rich composting
materials. If you prefer to stay dry and skip doing these fun
activities yourself, give me a call and I can arrange to schedule it at the
appropriate time this month. You may also email me for a free estimate anytime
or book one of our services on our website at www.utopiangardensllc.com. Visit our online store for information on over 300
