backyard garden club newsletter - November 2008
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Dear $$firstname$$,

There is a chill in the air now that November is almost here. The trees are shedding the last of their leaves, Thanksgiving is just around the corner and I can’t wait to eat some of my mom’s homemade pumpkin pie. Though the gardening season may be coming to a close, there are still some final things you can do to get your garden prepared for the next season. Check out our regional checklists for things to do in your area. 

This fall, members of our Backyard Garden Club are entered to win a collapsible trailer from Lifetime. Click here to learn more about the prize and Lifetime trailers!

Bulb Storage Solution

Tender bulbs that must be overwintered indoors are tough to keep organized. These include canna lilies, freesias, caladiums, gladioluses, dahlias and tuberous begonias. Keep track of what’s what by storing them in egg cartons, with each bulb identified on the top of the carton. The cartons have ventilation holes that prevent rot.

Winter is on its way—the days are shorter, the air is cooler, and plant growth has slowed or halted. Spend some time outside preparing your yard for its rest by taking care of some seasonal chores.

Quick Cleanup

Don’t throw away those old plastic kiddie pools! They work great when cleaning up the yard in the fall. Just cut a hole near the pool’s rim, tie a rope through it and use it as a debris hauler. I use these for carrying away leaves, limbs and dead plants, but you can fill them with any material–soil, garden tools—anything not too heavy for you to pull. They glide easily through the yard and on pavement. -–Nancy Buff, Morganton, North Carolina
