Getting you garden ready for Winter



With the first snow already under our belts, its about that time to put the garden tools away. But before you do, lets get the garden ready for winter with a few helpful hints that will make spring time a breeze!



* Plant your spring bulbs and dig up summer blooming bulbs. Yes, planting can still occur and is best to do from September to December, as long as the ground can be worked easily. While your planting your spring bloomers, dig up your summer blooming bulbs like Cannas, tuberous Begonias, Gladiolus and Dahlias. These summer time favorites can't take the cold temperatures of winter so bringing them in and storing them properly will guarantee blooms next season.

* Rake and remove or compost leaves. Fallen leaves can result in a dying or diseased lawn. Also, if the leaves had disease or insects, removing them will prevent both from over-wintering and infecting the plants next season.

* Pull up annuals and vegetables that have been affected by the frost. Cut back perennials that have become unsightly. Cut them about 1-2 inches from the ground so as to prevent rotting of the crown and damage to new buds.

* Weed. We know its a constant battle and one that most people would prefer not to have to do. However, weeding now will help you cut back on the job in the spring.

* Water. Yes, watering is essential year round. The cold winter winds dry out plants and they become more susceptible to disease and insects when they're vulnerable. Spraying your broad-leaf evergreens, such as Rhododendrons and Holly's, with an anti-desiccant spray will prevent water loss through their leaves. Evergreens and small trees will also need to be thoroughly watered throughout the winter

These steps are important for any garden of any age but it is particularly vital for new plantings. Your landscape is an investment and taking proper care of it will ensure the health and beauty of the plants you installed for years to come.

Fall is for Planting



Fall is a great time to treat your lawn with fertilizers or plant one with fresh loam and seed. Even with daytime temperatures staying cool, below the surface, the soil retains its warmth and warm soil helps seeds germinate faster. Fall also brings more rainfall, relieving you of watering duty.

With the fall planting season in full swing, we invite you to visit Echobrook Nursery for all your landscaping project needs. You can schedule an appointment for your professional landscape design and installation.

Services include: Lawns renovations (seed or sod), planting & mulching, walls, walks, and patios, excavating, grading, and drainage. Mulch and loam pick up or delivery.
