With the significant cooling that takes place in November, and the beginning of the rainy season (we hope!) be sure to adjust your watering schedule for cooler weather, using less water. Now is the time to cut ornamental grasses back to the ground once they show signs of new growth. Finish planting any of the winter fruits and veggies, trees or perennials you had planned on adding and start preparing by ordering bare-root trees and shrubs, roses, and vegetables for planting next month.
