More Gardening Tips:

• Pruning trees and shrubs: Where daytime temperatures are above freezing, start winter pruning. Cut out dead, diseased, crossing, and one of each pair of closely parallel branches. Work from the bottom to the top, and from the inside out. Then make a few last cuts for shape.

• Watering house plants: Bone-dry winter air and indoor heaters mean that houseplants need more water than usual. Check soil often, and water when the top of the soil has dried out.
