November is a great time to fertilize cool-season lawns for stronger spring green-up. Keep leaves from matting on the grass and take advantage of mild days to tackle lingering broadleaf weeds.
It's not too late to plant spring-flowering bulbs! Get tulips, daffodils, crocuses, and hyacinths in the ground now for a colorful welcome to spring. Choose well-drained soil and give bulbs a thorough watering after planting.
Help trees, shrubs, roses, and perennials handle the winter with proper mulching, watering during dry spells, and protection for vulnerable tree trunks. A little preparation now helps reduce winter damage and sets your landscape up for spring.
