Last Weekend Of The Holiday Gardening Season

Gardening by the Moon Weekend To-Do

An idea as old as agriculture, based both folklore and superstition but there are scientific ideas to back it up.

  • Saturday-Sunday:  Moon in the sign of Pisces - 
    •  If you haven’t already done so, clean up and dispose of any of the summer vegetable plants. By now, they should be pretty ugly-looking.

Later in the Week

  •  Bearded Iris is fed with 0-10-10 monthly during the winter months to increase the flowering this spring.  
Other Things To-do
  • The winter pruning season for roses and fruit trees has arrived. Call your favorite garden center if you would like some hands-on pruning advice. They’re conducting pruning demonstrations this month.
