Taking Plants in for the Winter

How Do You Decide Which Tender Plants To Keep?
Here are some tips that I use when closing down the garden for winter.
1. Keep only healthy plants. If something has been struggling all summer under the best of conditions, it is not going to improve indoors.
2. Never bring in a plant with pests or disease. Don’t convince yourself that you’ll quarantine the plant until it’s been treated. Problems spread more quickly among indoor plants than in the garden.
3. Give dibs to your favorite plants, the ones you’ve been coddling for years, like a bay tree, anything you’ve trained into a standard and sentimental favorites.
