If you have not started yet, it is never to soon for people in the Northeastern part of the country to get thing ready for the long, cold, often snowy, winters we have here. Make some simple plant covers out of light plywood to protect your investment in those beautiful plants (and yes even the established plants) you have nurtured through the year. A good feeding before they go to bed will only insure when they wake up in the spring, that they have a head start.
For any new young trees you may have planted, please make sure to wrap the trunks right down to the ground to keep the mince from girdling them which will surely result in them dying on you. They need that layer to direct their food to the branches. Some plants can even be sprayed with a light vegetable oil to help protect the foliage from insects and diseases.
You spend a lot of money and time on your labor of love. Why not protect that and leave nothing to chance? After all you did bring them to your garden for a reason. You obviously saw something in them that you liked, and brought them to their new home. A small bit of effort will ensure that you will enjoy them for many years to come. We have more info being added on our web site constantly about the care and health of your garden and the plants in it. We also have resources to some great ebooks for care of fruit trees. Check those out at Yankee Gardener Info
Keep an eye out for more new info on a regular basis and leave us a comment at the web site letting us know if we can help you find something you are looking for.
I am a Maine native and love the great outdoors. My wife and I are yard hermits in the summer. We spend all our time out in our yard adding to the look and feel of our property which led us to go into business for ourselves dealing with yard and garden decor.
