- Reseed or resod lawns through mid-month.
- Begin pre-emergent weed control on lawns and in flower beds. However,
consider that flowering weeds provide food for important pollinators. - Mulching is an earth friendly alternative in flower beds.
- Clean up perennials, removing dead leaves. Waiting until now has saved
many overwintering beneficial insects. - Spray new growth on bearded iris with imadacloprid to control borers
through early April. - Apply dormant oil spray to fruit trees and ornamentals to control
overwintering insects. - Certainly pick those lovely daffodils, but leave foliage intact.
- Freshly cut daffodils produce a chemical that injures other flowers in a
mixed arrangement. Isolate them in water for a day, then rinse the stems
before mixing with other flowers. - Fertilize spring bulbs as flowers fade.
- Prune floribunda, grandiflora, and hybrid tea roses. Remove dead,
crossing and inward facing stems. Begin fertilizing as buds break.
Plant bare-root roses now. - Do not prune forsythia, quince, and other spring blooming shrubs until
AFTER flowering. - Continue planting snow peas, garden peas and kale. Irish potatoes,
cabbage, broccoli and cauliflower transplants can be put out at the end of
the month. - Floating row covers will protect against insects and light frosts.
- Remove mulch from strawberry beds when flower buds appear.
- Warm season vegetables (eggplant, tomato, peppers) can still be started
indoors from seed. - Divide and transplant summer perennials and ornamental grasses as new
growth begins. - Prune evergreen shrubs back to a manageable size before new growth
begins. - Get your soil tested. The County Extension Agency has soil test boxes and instructions.
