November Garden Tasks
Last chance for fall planting season while roots are still active
~You may continue planting this month even with cooler temperatures, but plants will establish roots more slowly than earlier in fall
~Finish planting California natives
~Plant seeds for spring & summer blooms; choose mix of western wild flowers with annuals & perennials for long-lasting color
~Irrigate frequently during Santa Ana winds, which pull moisture from both plants and soil
~Give one last deep watering to deciduous trees and grapevines but discontinue feeding to harden them off for cold weather
~Irrigate fall-planted trees and bushes deeply once or twice this month to ensure good root formation prior to dormancy
