Hello Greenwood Friends,

November brings with it the official transition into dormancy, yet for passionate growers, the work never truly stops—it simply shifts from doing to protecting and planning.

Whether you’re tucking your gardens into a blanket of snow in the north or continuing to harvest cool-season greens in the south, this is the crucial time to ensure your landscape is secure and your plans for 2026 are taking root.

❄️ Your November Garden Checklist:

🌿 The Final Bulb Push: If the ground isn't frozen, finish planting spring-blooming bulbs (tulips, daffodils) and garlic now! These need a period of cold before they can sprout. Once planted, cover the area with insulating mulch.

🌿 Winter Protection is Key: For cold zones, wrap young, sensitive trees and shrubs (like Japanese maples) with burlap or tree wrap to protect them from sun scald and harsh wind. Ensure all containers, especially terracotta, are stored dry indoors to prevent cracking.

🌿 Cool-Season Focus (Zones 8+): While the North pauses, our friends in warmer climates can still sow seeds for quick-growing leafy greens, root vegetables, and ornamental cabbages. Just be prepared with frost cloth for those unexpected cold snaps!

🌿 Plan and Dream: With your garden asleep (or winding down), pull out your seed catalogs, grab a hot drink, and start mapping out next season’s layout. January is the perfect time for seed starting, and preparation begins now!

Remember, a little preparation now pays off in a strong, vibrant garden come spring. We’re already excited for what you’ll grow next year!

Wishing You a Beautiful and Peaceful Winterizing Season,
