The Garden Check- list is filled with tips and tricks for local gar- deners who wish to keep their greenery, flowers, and herbs looking beau- tiful all year long.
Nurseries will begin to have plants in bloom now so you can find the colors you really want before you plant them.
Tasks for this time of the year include reach- ing areas under eaves and overhangs where rainfall may not reach.
Remember to check soil moisture and apply supplemental water if needed.
Apply preemer- gence herbicide to
lawns and beds in the late part of the month to control crabgrass and other early germi- nating weeds.
When pruning, re- member to finish prun- ing roses and deciduous fruit trees by the end of the month.
At bud swell, spray deciduous fruit, almond trees and roses with dormant oil to prevent and control for over- wintering insects.
Prune out fire blight infections. Remove the infected shoot or branch at its point of origin.
Fertilize spring-flow- ering perennials, annu- als, bulbs and shrubs.
Yellow foliage, par-
ticularly the youngest leaves, may be attrib- uted to iron deficien- cy. Yellowing in older leaves may be attrib- uted to nitrogen defi- ciency.
Also, when planting, remember to group plants with similar wa- ter needs together.
This is a good time to move perennials, shrubs or small trees.
Spring planting sea- son begins next month. Work on your garden plans and be ready to start next month.
Enjoy now, annuals and perennials: fever- few (Chrysanthemum parthenium), toadflax (Linaria maroccana), cyclamen.
Citrus fruits are abundant now. Use to brighten up the winter menu.
Things to ponder, leave frost-damaged growth on tender plants as protection until the danger of frost is past. Begin pruning as new growth emerges.
