From Loretta - Here’s a hint that was found on Davesgarden.com
Some things to do when you can’t garden, but wish you could!
1. Clean your Tools:
First, use a stiff brush to remove excess dirt, and then scrub off rust with steel wool.
Spray or wipe on lubricating oil before storing in a dry area.
2. Clean your pots:
If you’re like me, your garage and patio are littered with empty plant pots of varying sizes.
Dump the excess dirt into the compost pile, rinse the pots with water
(or a mild bleach solution, if you suspect fungal disease was present in the pot),
scrub with a stiff brush and allow to air dry.
Arrange and stack pots according to size, and store.
From Yolanda - Here’s a hint that appeared in the Journal News: to keep Paperwhites in a bowl from flopping over: mix one part rubbing alcohol to 10 parts water and add to the bowl for the paperwhites. Be very careful, if the mix has too much alcohol the bulbs will die.
