December--2008

The month of December is a great month to kick back and enjoy the Holidays. The weather has been wet, which is a good thing. If you are going to do a live Christmas tree indoors, now is the time to dig your hole outside, for when you move your tree from inside your house. This is a great time to get caught up on any pruning that you may have not done yet. This is a great time to prune fruit trees and also to spray them with a dormant oil. Hold off on pruning your roses until February. Also try to avoid pruning your spring flowering shrubs--Quince, spirea, Forsythia,etc. Wait until they have finished blooming, then prune them. You still have time to divide your perennials. Remember to keep your poinsettia away from cold drafts. Have a great Holiday--Chuck
