Before storing clay pots for the winter, give them a good scrub to remove loose soil. Soak them for about half an hour in a solution of water and vinegar (1 cup vinegar/ 3 cups water) to remove the white residue. Finish by scrubbing the pots in hot, soapy water.
If you haven't already done so, spend some time looking after your garden tools. Clean and sharpen the blades of your digging and cutting tools. Dry them completely and spray them lightly with a light oil. Your tools be ready for spring, and you'll get a little gardening ‘pick me up’.

Organizational approaches are changing in response to the diverse needs of workplace populations, through inclusive and productive working environments.
Did you bring in an Amaryllis that summered outdoors? Amaryllis require a minimum of 8 weeks cooling off period between 4 -10 degrees Celsius, in a dark place, to produce flowers. After 8-10 weeks of cooling off, pot your bulbs. Soak them in warm water for 2 hours before planting (as described above). Place in direct light in a warm spot (at least 20 degrees Celsius). Water sparingly until the bud begins to appear, then increase watering. Fertilize monthly with liquid fertilizer (a 20-20-20 blend is good). It takes about 8 weeks for Amaryllis to bloom from potting time.
Amaryllis should be grown in a pot that is no more than 2 to 2.5 cm larger than the bulb. Several amaryllis bulbs can be placed together in a larger pot. Leave approximately one third of the bulb exposed and press the soil down firmly. Amaryllis should be watered sparingly and placed in a sunny window. Increase watering as the bud begins to appear. Rotate the pot to ensure all sides of the plant get adequate light, and to encourage straight stem growth. It takes about 8 weeks for Amaryllis to bloom from potting time.

Trees and shrubs need to be watered until the soil freezes. This is especially important in seasons where the amount of rainfall has been less than optimal.
