Free October Gardening Tip Sheet Is Ready

September 30, 2013 by Jeanne

Our free October gardening tips and task sheet is ready for you!

Each month, I share with you a free tip sheet you can download and print.  October’s may be found here.

October is the time to plant your spring tulip, crocus and other flower bulbs, to bring in fountains and fragile pots, and to clean up the garden. Good garden hygiene keeps insects and diseases from spreading through the garden. Raking leaves, trimming perennial flowers and removing annual plants killed by the frost are just some of the tips for you.

For more free resources, please check out the pages on this blog.  I offer free monthly gardening checklists, eBooks and more.

Happy growing!
