November Horticulture Center Updates

The vegetable garden

If you don't plant cool-season crops in your garden, it's time to get your vegetable garden beds ready for winter.

Learn what to do, and find ways to use fall leaves in your vegetable garden.

In the WEL

November is a lovely time in the water-efficient landscape gardens at the Fair Oaks Horticulture Center.

For more favorites, please visit our plant lists for Fall.

In the orchard

It's time to harvest persimmons, quince, lemons and Bearss limes. Plan now to protect your citrus from frosts and damaging freezes this winter.

Clean and sharpen pruners before storing them for winter.  See our video.

See more November orchard activities.

Composting

Protect yourself while working the compost pile. Potentially harmful pathogens can lurk amongst the "good guys."

Backyard berries

Propagate blackberries.

See more tips for November.

Grow herbs!

Lemon grass is a primary ingredient in many Asian comfort foods.  Easily grown in a pot so you can protect it from cold weather.  Learn about Lemon Grass.

The vineyard

Vines are dormant and minimal maintenance is needed in the vineyard.

Enjoy the holidays and resume care in January.

2025 Calendar coming soon!
