November's TO-DO List for Gardeners

By
Real Estate Technology with Rentec Direct

Before you are swept up into the Christmas tide, be sure to address any gardening and landscape issues around your property that may have been forgotten.  Make a checklist this year of all your tasks and save this list and any notes for next year’s preparation.  An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure!  People using property management software find it helpful to use reminder tools for tasks such as this so they never forget.

  • Blow & insulate all irrigation lines
  • Fertilize over-wintering crops & trees & shrubs
  • Check drainage locations for blockage
  • Protect frost-sensitive plants with mulch (with all those leaves!)
  • Remove dead & dangerous branches
  • Plant bulbs, garlic and shallots before soil freezes
  • Place mulch over next year’s landscaping/garden space
  • Cut perennial herbs back to ½ original height
  • Prune & support cane berries
  • Prepare cold frames for winter veggies & Spring starts
  • Inventory seeds & garden goods for next season

They say gardening is soothing to the soul, I know I love mine and spends lots of time there.
