SPRING HORTICULTURAL HINTS
Welcome spring! Step outside & soak in the sights of the season
as you tackle this month's garden chores:i
over empty beds with straw or shredded leaves to keep weeds from growing.
Clean shovels, spades, pruners, and garden tools, cleaning all debris and wiping with an oiled cloth.
Sharpen blades.
To rejuvenate a tired lawn, aerate, spread a thin topping of compost,
and rake again.
Cover empty beds with straw or shredded leaves to keep weeds from growing.
Wait to plant seeds of heat-loving crops like corn, green beans, squash, or cucumbers. Soil temperature needs to be 60 F for these seeds to germinate.
Early spring is a great time to spot spray or hand-dig dandelions. If spraying, choose a product that won't kill grass. If digging, wait until after a rain, when soil is soft.
Thanks, Karen
