November is a great time to
plant bulbs for spring flowers. It
is also a good time to divide established bulb plantings if they need it. Bulbs that will perform year after year
in Onslow County include: daffodils, star flower (Ipheion uniflorum), blue bottles (Muscari neglectum), Spanish bluebells (Hyacinthoides hispanica), summer snowflake (Leucojum aestivum) and lilies (both Asiatic and Oriental).
You can harvest something out
of your vegetable garden all winter long.
Onion seeds or sets and garlic bulbs can be planted for harvest next
spring. Remember that chard
(especially varieties such as ‘Bright Lights’ with its red, orange and yellow
stems), kale, lettuces and cabbage can straddle the line between vegetable
garden and ornamental plantings.
Plant them in the vegetable bed, along the edge of the flower border or
tuck into a container for seasonal interest.
