Winter tasks for the garden....

If you are like me, your "to do" list is long and UN-ending. Remember gardening is a process and will never be complete. But you can feel great by making a task list and crossing those items off as you accomplish them. Here are some items you might consider putting on your list.
Dead Head your perennials.
Remove leaves from the beds.
Replace mulch, or add more mulch where needed.
Mulch over tender bi-annuals to encourage them for the spring return.
Do a final mow on the lawn.
Clean off your tools. Sharpen and oil them if needed.
Make a layout of of your garden and plan a start date for seeds.
Plant spring bulbs.
Keep bird feeders full, as well as birdbaths (check on frozen birdbaths)
