- Plant spring-blooming bulbs.
- Transplant shrubs and perennials if needed.
· Clean and weed garden beds
- Cover cleaned beds with a layer of organic fertilizer: chicken, steer manure etc
- Mulch fertilized beds - cover with fallen leaves or straw
- Mulch around trees and shrubs to protect against freezing.
- Tie limbs of upright evergreens and plants to prevent them from breaking in high winds and heavy snow.
- Bring in and winter-over tender plants
- Service and clean lawn mowers. Clean, sharpen and oil garden tools.
