While the summer gardening season is over, there are plenty of November garden tasks that can be done.
You can still sow seeds of wildflowers this month. Plant California poppy, calendula, clarkia, and sweet peas.
In the veggie garden, plant seeds for lettuce, mustard, spinach, radishes, and peas.
If you didn’t get your new tree planted last month, it is not too late to take advantage of the fall root growth that will give your new tree a strong start in the spring.
Look at your camellias and remove excess buds to get larger flowers.
In the middle of the month, fertilize the veggies and flowers that were planted in October.
Also, this is the time to plant the chilled bulbs, and the spring flowering tubers and corms. Clean up all the fallen and falling leaves and other plant debris and dispose of diseased materials.
