"Garden to Do"
 March

• Spring is on the way!! Plant your cool weather annuals now.
• Make sure you fertilize your lawn before it gets too warm. Wait a few weeks and then do any over seeding that may need to be done.
• Take some time to get your vegetable garden ready by adding compost and tilling the soil.
• Peas, cabbage, lettuce, spinach and other cool weather vegetables can be planted as early as mid-March.
• If you have not started your seeds indoors, you can start them now. By starting your seeds now you get a thirty to sixty day jump on the garden season.
• Start your weeding while the weeds are still small. By putting a pre-emergent down and mulching, you will have an easier time dealing with them all season long.
• Start your watering routine now to make sure that all of your plants are getting sufficient amounts of water. This will prevent any early spring deaths of your plants.
• Many early Spring perennials start blooming in the month of March. Get your gardening off to a good start.
• Right now is when most garden centers have the largest selection of fruit trees and berry bushes. This is the perfect time for planting them so you may enjoy the blooms and fruits this year.
