Winter Balcony Gardening Tips

by Fern on November 17, 2008

Have you heard? Winter is just around the corner! ;-)

As it’s a little more than a month away, I thought I’d collect some of my own posts and as well as others’ that will help you take care of your container garden during the colder months of the year. Also, winter is a good time to read some of the great container gardening books out there.

Hi Fern, thanks for these great links. It’s quiet on the gardening front over here. Looks like there’s a chance of flurries this week (bring it on)!

Fern, can you overwinter ferns?

TC — LOL. Actually, Gen Schmidt (a commenter a few above yours) recently wrote a blog post about hardy Ferns and using them in winter gardens.
