Late fall and winter don’t seem like a busy time for a nursery like Sprucedale Gardens. But in reality, a LOT needs to be done to get ready for the next season!
STEP ONE: RE-POTTING
The plants are put into larger pots so the roots can continue to grow.
David said, “It takes a few weeks to re-pot all of the plants!”
STEP TWO: PRUNING
Pruning encourages more branching for the following season and helps the plants maintain their shape. Laura demonstrated which areas to cut.
STEP THREE: PACKING IN GREENHOUSES
STEP FOUR: COVER WITH POLY BLANKET
The plants are then covered in a poly blanket before the green house frames are covered later in the season.
