November - this is what you can sow and cultivate

The temperatures in November vary significantly depending on where in the country you are. There may be no snow with temperatures above freezing in one place, while there may be large amounts of snow in another place. Most plants have entered winter dormancy, and sensitive summer vegetables and flowers have been taken by the frost. If you live in the mildest areas of the country, along the southern coast where frost has not yet arrived, you can still harvest seeds, plant flower bulbs, perennials, shrubs, and trees. When the air humidity is high and the soil is moist, the plants get a good start. However, be aware that less hardy plants should preferably be planted in the spring. Also, evergreen plants thrive best if you plant them in the soil in the spring.

Winter cuttings, November is often a suitable time to take winter cuttings, which are branches from shrubs and woody plants such as spindle tree, willow, honeysuckle, elderberry, roses, butterfly bush, black currant or gooseberry. The cuttings are taken when the plant is dormant and has lost its leaves, usually from November to January. By planting the cuttings in soil and taking care of them, you can easily get more plants for the garden.,Branches for grafting,If you are planning to graft apple or pear trees to get different types of fruit on the same tree, you can use November to take strong one-year-old branches. These can then be stored in a plastic bag in the refrigerator until spring.

Autumn sowing, Many seeds can be sown late in the season. However, be sure to choose the right time for sowing. Weather and temperature have a lot to do with it. Most seeds are not meant to sprout until spring, unless they are plants that need a root system before the ground freezes (for example, certain biennial flowers that can form a rosette already in autumn).,Also read Sowing in autumn - extend the season,Winter sowing,If snow and cold have already arrived and are stable, you can sow both flowers and vegetables. Just remove the snow and sow directly on the frozen soil surface, cover with a layer of soil and wait for spring. Spinach is a fun crop to sow in winter, and it provides a good harvest early in spring.
