Gardening Tips:
If you have fruit and flowering trees that had insect or disease problems last year and want to prevent it from happening this year: when temperatures are above 40 degrees, apply All Season's Oil, before the leaves unfurl!
As the temperatures start to rise here are a couple things to keep in mind:
The ground is still cold. Trees and shrubs you buy now can be planted now.
Early, cool weather flowers can be outside on a porch now. Bring in if temperatures drop below 35.
No need to worry about fall bulbs such as tulips and daffodils, or early perennials that are popping up should we get a frost or freeze. The leaves that are out might show some damage but the plant will be fine and as the weather continues to get nicer, they will grow out more foliage and bloom.
We anticipate our last frost date to be May 15. Hopefully by then we will be in the clear for planting flowers and some vegetables! (Warm season veggies like tomatoes, peppers and cucumbers need the soil and air to warm up quite a bit, we suggest waiting until after Memorial Day.) Feel free to check with us before you plant.
