- Review last years garden. If you didn’t take notes during the season set aside some time on a nice cozy evening and jot down what went well in the garden and what did not. Then put down ideas on what you would do differently last year.
- Take evergreen and hardwood cuttings. Dip them in a rooting hormone before putting the in pots filled with rooting media and place in a coldframe for the winter. Roots should form by spring.
- Apply mulch. Clear days are good for applying mulch to beds you didn’t get to earlier in the fall. 2-3 inches is sufficient.
- Cut evergreen boughs for wreaths.
- Rake up leaves from under late leaf releasing trees like Pin Oaks.
