November signals wrapping up garden duties and dreaming about spring blossoms.  Here’s a quick checklist to get started:

• Round up all your garden tools.

• Make a tool checklist – who’s missing in action?

• Clean off the dirt and give them a rub with an oily rag.

• Inspect for wear. Check those handles! No one wants a splinter.

• Time for a little TLC – sand down or swap out any cracked handles.

• Sharpen the edges of shovels and hoes.

• Organize your tools so they’re spring-ready at a moment’s notice.

• Jot down your garden wish list – maybe that special tool or material you’ve had your eye on? Great gift hints for the holiday season!
