How to winterize your garden:Properly winterizing the garden will not only help plants survive the short gray days and bitter nights that winter brings to much of the country, it’s an important step in ensuring the garden will produce colorful flowers in the spring.

Blog postWelcome to Mary's Garden, our guest today is Dee S. Knight. First we have a winter garden tip!
How to protect flowering plants
While plants generally will survive hard winter freezes, blossoms on winter-flowering plants such as camellias and plum and cherry trees aren’t so lucky.
When buds are swollen and blooming is imminent, a hard freeze can damage the buds. The damage can remain hidden until the flowers open and then show up in the form of brown spots on the p -

Blog postWelcome to Mary's Garden. First we have a garden tip. Great shrubs.
Planting Tip
Most, if not all, shrubs and vines thrive best in soils described as "well-drained."
This means that the soil texture should be loose enough so that rain or irrigation water drains through quickly rather than allowing the roots to soak in standing water. Most average soils are naturally well-draining, but drainage can be a problem with dense soils high in clay content. If you have this k -

To clean up or leave it wild?Cleaning up the garden beds for winter? The case for leaving them wild.I’m a bit of a neatnik and despite living in the woods, I go to great lengths to clean up the leaves and take care of trimming the hedges and such (although this year, since my husband is retired, he seems happy to take over that duty). But when it comes to my perennial bed, I like to -

Blog postWelcome to Mary's Garden. Before I share the scoop about the Trick or Treat Book Bonanza, here is a fall garden tip for you, from Gardening Know How.
Put the Garden to Bed
Dig up and bring in any sensitive bulbs or tubers. This will depend on your USDA plant hardiness zone, but anywhere there is an extended freeze plants should be brought indoors. Removing plant debris and raking will decrease pest, disease and weed seeds that overwinter. Empty the compost bins and start a new -

The end of the season is the time to remove your spent vegetable plants, clean up plant debris and

Garden Tip: Putting your personal stamp on your yard or perennial bed is half the fun of gardening.
