Pruning and Cleanup

Remove dead branches and debris, but save major pruning for late winter when plants are dormant.

Tool Maintenance

Clean, sharpen, and oil your garden tools before storing them for winter.

Planning for Spring

Use winter downtime to plan next season's garden layout and order seeds early.
