Garden Tips for March
- Continue planting cool season annuals
- Some warm season veggies, such as tomatoes, can be planted late in March, but be prepared to cover them if we have freeze or frost.
- You may still have some time to dig and divide fall blooming perennials if they haven’t started putting out new growth yet.
- It’s a great time to plant new trees and shrubs in the garden so they establish a good root system before summer. Make sure to fertilize them so they get a good start.
- Begin thinking about sodding or seeding your lawn, late in March, once the last frost date has passed. Mow your lawn shorter than normal to help remove early weeds before seeding. Don’t forget to start fertilizing your lawn as well.
- Prune and shape any spring flowering shrubs and vines as soon as they finish blooming.
- Once trees and shrubs begin to green up, trim any dead or damaged areas that become obvious.
- Continue Fertilizing winter and spring annuals.
