Clean the garden; store poles, etc., worth
keeping over; burn
everything else that will not rot; and compost
everything that will.
Fruit. Harvest apples, etc. Pick winter pears
just before hard
frosts, and store in dry dark place.
NOVEMBER
Frames. Make deep hotbeds for winter lettuce
and radishes.
Construct frames for use next spring. See that
vegetables in basement,
bins, and sheds are safe from freezing. Trench
or store celery for
spring use. Take in balance of all root crops if
any remain in the
ground, except, of course, parsnip and salsify
for spring use. Put
rough manure on asparagus and rhubarb beds. Get
mulch ready for
spinach, etc., to be wintered over, if they
occupy exposed locations.
Fruit. Obtain marsh or salt hay for mulching
strawberries. Cut
out old wood of cane-fruits--blackberries, etc.,
if not done after
gathering fruit. Look over fruit trees for
borers.
DECEMBER
Cover celery stored last month, if trenched
out-of-doors. Use only
light, loose material at first, gradually
covering for winter. Put
mulch on spinach, etc.
Fruit. Mulch strawberries. Prune grape-vines;
make first
application of winter sprays for fruit trees.
