Snow and winds? How to move snow off tender plants
If we have heavy, wet snow, the branches of evergreens may be bent and broken. Shake the branches gently to loosen the snow but don't shake them so hard they pop up. You can cut branches that are broken but don't do any pruning now.
Plant problems? Want to know what to grow where? Are your maples moping, lilacs lethargic? Maybe you need to know how to prune hydrangeas or harvest leeks.
If you're a Putnam County resident, ask our Master Gardener volunteers, an experienced crew educated in horticulture, plant pathology, entomology and pest management. They'll show you how to select organic and least-toxic products and more to help you create a beautiful, environmentally-friendly garden.
