From The Fresno Bee, November 10, 2009:Wood ashes are not beneficial in the garden. They have no nutrient value and only a limited value as a deterrent to slugs and snails.
Tasks--Water citrus trees well now to produce a good crop next year.
Pruning--Cut back chrysanthemums to 6 inches.
Fertilizing--Fertilize cool-season annuals, perennials and vegetables with a light, high-nitrogen or organic fertilizer.
Planting--Bare-root planting season begins this month. Consider the hardiness of the root stock when selecting bare-root fruit trees; potatoes, onions; nectarine, peach, pistachio nut (Pistachia); toadflax (Linaria maroccana), stock (Matthiola incana).
Things to Ponder--Use trimmings of magnolias, juniper, pine and redwoods for holiday greens. Deodar cedar, spruce and Western hemlock lose needles quickly.
