• Don’t forget tulip and hyacinth bulbs in the refrigerator. They can be planted anytime in December if they have received 60 or more days of chilling.
• Gourds on display for fall decorations will last longer if they are carefully cleaned, waxed and kept in a dry place. Inspect occasionally for signs of mould.
• Drain gasoline from power tools and run the engine until fuel in the carburetor is used up.
• Drain and store garden hoses and watering equipment in a readily accessible location. The lawn and plants may need water during a prolonged dry spell.
