Zone 3
If rainfall has been light, deeply water trees and shrubs before the ground freezes.
To successfully overwinter half-hardy plants (such as azaleas, rhododendrons, and butterfly bushes), surround them with a wire cage and cover them with a thick layer of dry leaves.
Force a few bulbs for indoor winter color; plant half now and half in 2 weeks for a longer show.
Check stored tubers, bulbs, potatoes, onions, and garlic for spoilage and softness.
Winterize all power tools before storing.
Sharpen, clean, and repair hand tools before storing them.
