Extra Winter Tips for Central Florida Gardeners:
Water Smart: While temperatures drop, the need for watering doesn’t disappear! Keep an eye on your plants and water deeply during dry spells, but avoid overwatering, as the cool weather means less evaporation.
Mulch is Your Best Friend: Apply a 2-3 inch layer of mulch around your plants to help insulate their roots, conserve moisture, and protect from fluctuating temperatures.
Frost Protection: For tender plants, use frost cloths or even old sheets to protect them from unexpected freezes. Just make sure to remove them when temperatures warm up.
Prune with Caution: Hold off on major pruning during the winter months, as it can stimulate new growth that’s more vulnerable to frost. Focus on removing dead or damaged branches instead.
Stay ahead of the game and make this winter the best one yet for your garden! If you have any questions, feel free to reach out – we’re here to help you grow!
