November in the Garden
CrocusChecklist
-
Watch for early frost and cover container plants that may be sensitive. Bring others indoors.
-
Irrigation systems may be turned off this month in most years. If rain is late, you may need to continue to irrigate. A soil moisture sensor may be useful.

Sharpen shears and loppers: a clean cut is a healthy cut.
-
Protect newly planted annuals and emerging bulbs from slugs and snails.
-
Continue to clean up the garden to discourage disease.
-
Look for late aphids on winter vegetable crops. Blast them off with water.
