November Garden To-Do List:
(From the pros at Utah State University)
- Finish mowing for the season—set blades around 2 inches to slow winter fungal growth.
- Clear leaves by raking, mowing or using a leaf blower; compost or add to beds with a touch of nitrogen.
- Cut back perennials after the first frost, ensure foliage has died down; divide spring-blooming perennials while pruning.
- After the first frost, apply 1–3 inches of compost to flowerbeds for nutrients and winter insulation.
