First week in December:
ü Spray seed heads and dried flowers with hair spray to keep them intact.
ü The holidays are just about three weeks away, and there is still time to make herbal presents such as herbal vinegars and potpourri.
Second Week:
ü Order your 2011 seed catalogs.
ü Check stored dahlia tubers and gladiolus corms; if sprouting, move to a cooler location. If they appear to be shriveling, rewrap them using a ventilated plastic bag. If there are signs of molding, change their environment; this is usually a result of moisture.
ü Scout your landscape for the small, buff or yellowish velvet gypsy moth egg cases attached to trees, stones, walls, logs and other outdoor objects, including outdoor household articles. Pick off and destroy them.
Third Week:
ü Prune fruit trees anytime this winter. Keep in mind, it is easier on the tree if the temperature is 45 deg. and above.
Final Week:
ü Fertilize peach and apple trees anytime after the leaves drop and before spring growth.
