From The Fresno Bee, Dec. 2, 2009:A devoted gardener would rather give or receive tools, plants or a unique garden treasure than gold, diamonds or pearls.
Tasks--Monitor ground moisture, especially in beds under eaves and patios.
Pruning--Remove dead foliage and stems from dormant perennials.
Fertilizing--Fertilize cool-season annuals, perennials and vegetables with a light high-nitrogen or organic fertilizer.
Planting--Order bare-root perennials from catalogs; plant from seeds: lettuce, parsley; fig, walnut (Juglans), crabapple (Malus).
Things to Ponder--Enjoy the quiet of the winter garden.
