Tip of the month..

Attend a class, workshop, check out a nursery you haven’t been to, or go to a Garden show
Fertilize houseplants & wipe foliage of large leaved houseplants .
Start cool crops – broccoli, lettuce, and snow peas. Start annual flowers: ageratum, sweet alyssum, geranium, petunia, snapdragon and verbena inside
Inspect fruit trees for tent caterpillar egg masses (looks like used brown chewing gum)
Clean and refill bird feeders prune, summer-blooming shrubs
Check perennials for any roots that have heaved above ground by frost action, blanket with compost.
Finish plans for garden and landscaping on paper
Brush up on horticulture – read books and articles. If you find books to give away – consider bringing them to the next club meeting to share.
During warm days cut branches of forsythias and lilac, set in vases of water and enjoy watching them bloom.
If you didn't clean up flowerbeds in the fall, begin to do these tasks this month before new spring growth appears. If you wait too long to begin clean up tasks you are likely to damage delicate new growth
Prune trees and shrubs, if needed, just before buds open. Remove branches that interfere with others, weak branches and ones that are growing vertical, creating a narrow crotch angle. No more than 1/4 of the branches/stems should be removed per year. Avoid topping branches (cutting off the tips) and shearing shrubs, which can lead to weakened, pest-prone plants. Exceptions are male, beech, dogwood, elm and sycamore. These “bleeders” should be in full leaf before they are trimmed
