What to do in the garden right now

Pick a month. This is the list I actually work from — Garden Zone 7A. Adjust a week or two either way for yours.

Do this month

  • Plant fall brassicas and kale out
  • Take basil and rosemary cuttings
  • Order garlic and spring bulbs now

Leave it alone

  • Pruning hydrangeas — wait, and know your type
  • Cutting the lawn short in drought
