Quick Overview

"Everyone talks about the weather but nobody does anything about it" is an old saying that really applies to this time of the year. With storms, squally rain, hail and thunder a frequent occurrence the challenge of maintaining an attractive garden does seem to be a little overwhelming and unrealistic. Truly, even the best efforts of a master gardener aren’t going to turn winter into spring. But there are things you can do to protect your garden and help it along so that when the weather does break, there will still be a lot of strong healthy plants well established for a glorious spring display. First off, remember that the roots of plants need to breath in order to stay healthy. Repeated cold, pelting rains compact the soil. As the soil particles compact drainage becomes difficult causing water to build up in the soil. Plants can literally begin to drown and as roots die rot sets in. Soon black spots begin to appear on foliage or yellowing occurs. Sometimes the plant appears to wilt as if it were dry.
