Garden Checklist: Take time to drive along the Blossom Trail
Contributed
The Garden Check- list is filled with tips and tricks for local garden- ers who wish to keep their greenery, flowers, and herbs looking beau- tiful all year long.
March is the time to put winter’s planning in- to action as spring comes to the garden.
Tasks for this time of year include continuing the fruit-tree spraying and spray fungicide on apple and cherry trees.
Weed by hand-pulling,
hoeing, or, if there is no alternative, apply her- bicide on a calm day so that spray will not drift.
After bloom, prune spring flowering shrubs, trees and vines to im- prove shape.
Apply one third of the needed amount of fertilizer to deciduous fruit and nut trees. When planting, sow seeds for summer vegetables.
Annuals: impatiens, alyssum (Lobularia), plant from seed.
Bulbs, corms, tubers: tiger flower (Tigridia).
Fruits and vegetables: daikon, eggplant, melon, carrots, plant from seed. Perennials: Lenten rose (Helleborus orientalis), coral bells (Heuchera), gayfeather (Liatris).
Trees, shrubs, vines: wild lilac (Ceanothus), deodar (Cedrus deodara), redbud (Cercis occiden- talis), citrus.
Enjoy these now, an- nuals and perennials: Fruits and vegetables: lettuce, onions, parsley, parsnips, peas.
Things to ponder, protect tomatoes, pep-
pers and eggplant from a late frost by using hot caps or floating row cov- ers.
