If you started your winter vegetables like cabbage, kale, or winter lettuce now is the time to harvest them. To protect your winter vegetable if we receive snow or severely cold temperatures cover them with burlap, a frost blanket or similar protection.

Some other things to do with the vegetable garden include:

• Spray your fruit trees with Lime Sulphur and Dormant Oil to prevent insect and fungus infections later in the season
• Clean up any dead or dying plants as they serve as food for insects
• Prepare your vegetable beds for spring planting by adding compost, manure, and/or lime
• Pick out seeds for the vegetables that you want to grow this summer
