GARDENING CALENDAR

TEXAS COOPERATIVE EXTENSION

BEXAR COUNTY

December 17, 2005

• Don’t spare the pruning shears when transplanting bare-rooted woody plants. Cut the tops back at least one-third to one-half, to compensate for the roots lost when digging the plant.
• Take advantage of bad weather and holiday time to study seed and nursery catalogues as well as good gardening books.
• Berrying plants, such as holly and yaupon, may be pruned now, and enjoyed as cut material inside the house.
