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 tulips and daffodils — late is fine here
  • Clean pots and trays while the tap still runs
  • Mulch the rhubarb crown, not over it

Leave it alone

  • Walking on sodden beds
  • Pruning roses hard; wait for February

Reading for November
