BANTING'S PLANTINGS
January 2020 Newsletter
Happy New Year!
If you haven't made your gardening resolutions yet this year we have some monthly suggestions that are easy to keep and will make your gardening experience more rewarding.

January: Hang a bird feeder in your garden and let the bird watching begin.
February: Prune back your perennials to make room for the flush of new growth. It is easier to do it now than to try and cut out the dead after the new growth has emerged.
March: Get your Milkweed ready for the Monarch's journey north! Bring all the other butterflies to your garden by planting their favorite host plants, too.
April: It's time to fertilize your shrubs and trees. Osmocote Pro 12 month release is the way to go! Once a year application takes all the guess work out of fertilizing making it so simple for you.
May: Get your warm season annuals planted now to enjoy color all summer long.
June: Hummingbirds are back and buzzing around so be sure to keep their feeders full of nectar.
July: Keep the pollinators coming to your garden by deadheading your blooming plants regularly to promote new flowers.
August: It's hot out there! Make sure your irrigation is keeping your plants hydrated. Change the water regularly in your bird baths for our feathered friends, too.
September: Fall is near and so is the best time to plant shrubs and trees. We carry a large selection and can plant them for you too!
October: Come visit our pumpkin patch take home some Chrysanthemums and hay bales for your fall color display.
November: Bring in your tropical plants, they don't like the cold either and, they need protection from frost and freeze.
December: A live Christmas tree is just what you need! Leyland cypress or Green Giant arborvitae can be decorated indoors and then planted in the garden after the holidays for evergreen interest all year long. With so many
