PLANT
- Warm season annuals are here! Plant zinnias, salvias, cosmos, lisianthus, portulaca.
- Plant herbs for use in the kitchen. Re-seed greens, cabbages and kales.
FERTILIZE
- Your spring plantings are getting hungry. Feed with all-purpose fertilizers such as E.B. Stone Organics and Maxsea.
- Feed your lawn with high nitrogen organic fertilizer like Nature’s Green Lawn Food.
PRUNE/MAINTAIN
- Continue to deadhead roses, shrubs and other flowers with a new pair of Felco pruners to encourage new blooms.
- Mulch shrubs and beds to conserve moisture. Try GreenAll Microbark for its beauty and utility.
- Make sure vegetables are supported with cages, stakes or trellises.
- Check early-bearing fruit trees for heavily laden branches. Thin fruits now to prevent branches from breaking. Harvest vegetables to keep them producing.
