You might be thinking that your gardening days are over for the year... but there are a few tasks left in the northern Nevada area...
First, now is the time to turn your garden under, if you haven't done so already. While you're turning, add blood meal and bone meal to the mix. Now is also the time to add compost.
Second, add a layer of mulch around the base of your perennials to protect the roots from winter's harsh freezes.
And lastly, now is the time to plant bulbs for next year's bloom or harvest. Plant garlic, shallots, and flowering bulbs now. You can even plant raspberry bushes, grape vines, or blueberry plants now, too. Just make sure they have shelter from the upcoming high winds, or stake them well.
