Prune:

~  Late summer and fall blooming shrubs.

~  Cut back Mums and Perennial stems that are finished blooming.

~  Do not prune early spring blooming shrubs and trees except to remove damaged or diseased branches.

~  Perennial herbs should be cut back now for better growth next year, use dried herb stems to make great smelling wreaths and dried flower arrangements.

***

~  Cut lawn for the last time and remove leaves.

~  Cut suckers away from Crap-Myrtle, Forsythia and Lilacs.

~  Turn off faucets and drain hoses.

~  Remember to clean and store your hand tools, so they will be ready for use next year, a light coating of oil will prevent rust.
