- Keep Poinsettias in the light as long as they are looking healthy. Move to the basement until May or June when they start losing their leaves. Keep them very dry here.
- Don't over-water your houseplants. The lack of sunshine will cause them to dry out more slowly in the winter.
- Use calcium chloride instead of sodium chloride on your walks and drive. It is safer for lawns, trees and beds.
- Remove heavy snow from evergreen bushes that have been bent to the ground to prevent minor damage and breaking.
- Look at your landscape. Are you happy with your winter privacy? Make note of bare spots in your yard and plant evergreens in the spring for cover next year.
