The Christmas tree in our home is recycled twice. As you read this hopefully you will come to a better understanding of why some of your plants are damaged or die over winter. Remember, plants are a lot like us humans. They are living things directly effected by their environment. Keep your plants as healthy as you can.
Good plants begin with good, rich organic soil.
Water in times of drought. Never fertilize with a high first number fertilizer in fall. You don't want new tender growth going into winter. Pay strict attention to plants in a southern exposure. There's nothing you can do except apply evergreen boughs over them by late September.
