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

  • Order seed before the good varieties sell out
  • Sharpen and oil everything in the shed
  • Prune apples and blueberries on a dry day

Leave it alone

  • The lawn — stay off it while it is frozen
  • Anything in a pot outdoors; do not water
