Garden Checklist: Spring planting to start soon
Contributed
The Garden Check- list is filled with tips and tricks for local gardeners who wish to keep their greenery, flowers, and herbs looking beautiful all year long.
Spring planting sea- son begins next month. Work on your garden plans and be ready to start next month.
Tasks for this time of year include peruse seed catalogs looking for dis- ease resistant strains.
Shop now for bare root grape and berry vines. Deeply water trees and native plants if rain- fall has been light.
Peach leaf curl is best controlled by fixed cop- per spray at bud swell before bud break.
When pruning, re- member that crepe myr- tles and redbuds may be pruned now.
Do not apply any treatment to pruning cuts or other wounds because these materials are inef-
fective and often are det- rimental.
Wait to prune spring- flowering shrubs until after they bloom.
Planting annuals and perennials for spring bloom starts next month, look now for new variet- ies of spring vegetables and summer blooming bulbs.
Sow seeds of summer annuals and vegetables in flats in a protected loca- tion or indoors.
Enjoy these now, an- nuals and perennials: Iceland poppy (Papaver nudicaule) camellias, Cal- listemon ‘Little John.’
Bulbs, corms, tubers: freesia, daffodil, crocus.
Fruits and vegetables: lemon, navel orange and spinach.
Remember, sharp tools make cleaner cuts. Clean and maintain prun- ing equipment.
This is also a good time to divide African violets for early spring bloom. When the soil is cold and wet, citrus trees
and other plants may not be able to make efficient use of iron,
Nitrogen and other nutrients even though there is an adequate sup- ply available in the root zone. This problem usu- ally disappears when soil conditions improve, and no further action is re- quired. Automatic sprin- klers should be turned completely off during periods of rainfall.
