Quick and cheap way to get garden ready for winter

Summer and a warm fall seemed to last forever. October was glorious all along the east coast with wonderful color stretching up to three weeks because of all the rain this summer. Now it is November with cold nights that feel like fall. Temperatures have dropped below freezing in all of zone 5 and even in some areas of zone 6. It is time to pull out your annuals and get ready for winter. So set aside about one hour to bag all of your flowering bushes so that they will still have buds in the spring! It is easy, cheap and quick!! Order on line or just buy plant protector bags, shrub protectors plackets or Nuvew plant covers from your garden supply stores. On line they can be found at Gardeners.com , Ace Hardware, Walmart , Harris Seeds and Amazon.com. If your bushes don’t have sturdy wooding stems, just stick a bamboo pole in the middle before dropping on your bag. That way, if it snows a lot this winter your bushes wont break.
