*It's #thyme for some #TomsThumbTips!* What can you do this month for your #garden? 👍Plant those bulbs that you put in your refrigerator to provide for a chill treatment. They won't flower in the fridge (plus they make a great conversation piece!) 👍 Fertilize established trees and shrubs. 👍Water newly planted transplants. Containers need more frequent water than plants in the ground. Water well before a freeze to protect roots.

#protip: once your #holiday #christmas #cactus plant stops blooming, move it to a sunny window for the rest of the winter. Allow the soil to dry slightly before watering. Keeping the soil constantly wet promotes root rot. With proper treatment, it will bloom again next year. 🎄 #christmascactus #plant #growyourown #green #tomsthumbtips
