You may still be picking your final tomatoes and enjoying the last flower blooms but it’s time to take care of those pre-winter tasks that will help make next year’s yard and garden even more lovely. The DiMora Team are real estate experts in the Northville and Novi neighborhoods and we have a few suggesetions of what you should be sure to do before the snow starts falling. Drain your hoses and store them in the basement, shed or garage. Blow out your sprinkler system. Drain your water features. Stash watering cans, especially galvanized steel cans, indoors. Water left over the winter can freeze, expand and damage them all. Before storing your garden tools for the winter, clean them off and, if needed, sharpen them. Rub a bit of linseed oil into wooden handles to prevent cracking. When it’s time to pull them out in the spring, you’ll be ready to go.

Mulching in fall can be even more beneficial for plants than doing it in spring. Spreading two to three inches of mulch around trees and shrubs helps protect roots from frost and helps retain moisture during cold, dry winter months.
