How to prepare your garden for spring |
|

Sod Solutions Content Writer
The cold winter months can seem to stretch on forever for those of us who love our lawns and gardens! Instead of staying shut indoors, why not make the most of your time and bundle up for some springtime lawn prep?
Some planning and work on the front end will help make your garden all the better and spring garden maintenance more manageable. Here is a short checklist of items to work on this winter.
Get Your Tools Ready
Winter is a great time to dust off your spring tools and arrange for any cleaning or repairs needed. It’s also the time to take stock of what might be missing from your shed that you’ll need come springtime.
Think about items like your mower, garden spreader, blower, rakes, shovels, and more. There is nothing more frustrating than going to do yard work on a beautiful spring day only to realize that the tools and equipment you need either aren’t there or don’t work.
Clean Up Beds
Get the not-so-fun task of cleaning up the beds in your yard out of the way during winter so that in the springtime, you’ll be able to enjoy planting and seeing the plants and flowers you cut back thrive with new growth.
Clip away anything that didn’t make it through the winter or needs pruning and think about making room for new plants and flowers. Think about adding fresh straw or mulch to beds if needed.
Create a Spring Planting Plan
If it’s just too cold and miserable to be outside but you still want to get a jump start on your spring garden, get your creative juices flowing and create a spring lawn and garden plan.
Think about what you’d like to grow, what grows best in shade vs. sun and begin to map out where things will go in relation to what you already have growing. Taking time to draw up a plan will prove beneficial in the end as opposed to figuring things out as you go… things like timing and placement are important!
Select a Spring Fertilizer
Temperatures are finally starting to warm up and the arrival of spring draws closer. As temperatures increase, soil temperatures also increase, and this creates different conditions within the soil. Your garden will require certain nutrients at this time. Sod Solutions likes to recommend the Lawnifi Spring Fertilizer Box, a liquid fertilizer with a unique blend of nutrients that serve to help your lawn and garden establish strong roots, promote the return of green leaves and prepare for the hot summer season.
Pull Winter Weeds & Get Rid of Pests
Garden weed control is much easier to tackle on the front end, so now is the time to get rid of those weeds that will hamper spring growth. It might seem like everything is either dormant or dead in the winter, but not those pesky weeds. They seem to hang on no matter what.
Go ahead and rid your lawn and beds of weeds so that you will have healthy soil to plant your spring plants and flowers in the spring. Be sure to apply a pre-emergent herbicide to prevent spring and summer weeds.
Pests are another issue that will quickly get out of control come springtime, so consider pre-treating your garden with a broad-spectrum insecticide to make sure that grub worms in your garden don’t move in.

Beautify your home with a bit of greenery |
|
By Melinda Myers
Whether you want to create a tropical oasis indoors or dress up your décor, plants are the answer. A few plants set on the floor, hanging from the ceiling, or displayed on a table can beautify any room, boost your mood, and reduce stress.
Select plants suited to the growing conditions and your gardening style. This reduces ongoing maintenance and increases your growing success. If you tend to overwater, look for plants that thrive in moist soil conditions. Grow more drought-tolerant plants if you are a gardener that tends to underwater. Check plant tags for tips on light and water needs.
Use large floor plants to create a focal point, provide height and balance in the room and brighten bare walls. Fiddle leaf and weeping figs, rubber plants, dragon trees (Dracaena marginata), and palms are a few popular plants available as indoor trees. Set them on a plant caddy to protect your floors. This also makes it easier to move them for cleaning and maintenance.
Large plants and indoor trees are often pictured far from a window or placed in a dark corner of the room. Make sure the plants receive sufficient light or supplement natural light with attractive energy-efficient plant lights like the Alden Grow Lamp with a full spectrum LED bulb to help keep them healthy and looking their best.
Hang trailing plants like pothos, philodendrons, ivy, and others from the ceiling, in front of windows, or set them on shelves. The cascading foliage provides a bit of screening and softens hard surfaces for a cozier look and feel. Elevating plants also helps keep them away from curious pets and children.
Dress up any room, small or large, with wall-mounted planters like the Kira Grow Light Hanging Planter with a built-in light or the Triple Wall Planter or Wall Shelf with Planter. Plant-filled wall planters serve as living art, providing added color, texture, and form to any blank space.
Use plant stands like the Crisscross Cascading Plant Stand to expand your indoor garden to various levels throughout the house. Furniture grade and multifunctional stands like the Mobile LED Grow Light Cart (gardeners.com) allow you to maximize the function and growing space in your home.
Brighten any room with colorful and flowering plants. Crotons, prayer plants, dracaenas, and philodendrons are just a few indoor plants with colorful leaves. Grow peace lilies, anthuriums, bromeliads, and moth orchids for a bit of floral beauty.
Boost the renewal powers of a good night’s sleep by including a few plants in your bedroom. The added greenery can create a sense of calm. The oxygen and boost in humidity the plants provide are also beneficial.
Elevate your bathroom to spa level with some greenery. The humidity in the bathroom is great for ferns, air plants, prayer plants, and a variety of other tropical plants. You’ll enjoy this splash of greenery when stepping out of the shower or tub.
Add a few plants to your home office. Looking at and tending plants can help increase focus and creativity.
Containers are an important part of your indoor garden. They should contain drainage holes to reduce the risk of soggy soil and root rot. Self-watering pots help take the guesswork out of watering, reduce maintenance, and for many will increase gardening success. No need to have matching pots but consider using those made from similar materials and design elements. This helps provide unity throughout your indoor garden and home’s décor.
Start your plant makeovers one room at a time. Just like any home decorating project, dividing it into smaller tasks is easier on the budget and makes the process less overwhelming.

Texas plant diagnostician enjoys serving needs of people |

By Blair Fannin
Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service
Using sound science to help solve complex plant diagnostics is a hallmark of Kevin Ong, Ph.D., director of the Texas Plant Disease Diagnostics Laboratory and associate department head for the Department of Plant Pathology and Microbiology in the Texas A&M College of Agriculture and Life Sciences.
Coupled with a passion for serving Texas, Ong has built a successful career that has received high notoriety from industry. To start 2023, Ong was awarded the Honorary Lifetime Achievement Award from the Texas Nursery and Landscape Association, and in February, was honored with the Donald M. Ferrin Memorial Service Award from the Southern Division of the American Phytopathological Society, APS.
The honor is given to a member in recognition of distinguished service to APS. Ferrin was part of the “old school” Extension specialists, Ong said.
“When you think of ‘old school’ Extension specialists, that’s him,” he said. “He embodied hands-on excellent service to his stakeholders, and it’s quite an honor to receive the recognition.”
Love for plants, science
Plants and science would lead to an extensive career, ultimately putting Ong on the path to direct the Texas Plant Diagnostics Laboratory and service the Lone Star State in diagnosing some of the most troublesome diseases.
His career path in plant diagnostics came about during his senior year in college while studying biology and chemistry.
“At the time, I was working in the plant physiology laboratory,” he said. “My focus was primarily on plant genetics and genetic engineering. Later, while pursuing my Ph.D. at Clemson University, I got into plant pathology in a production agriculture system. Then I started my professional career at the Texas A&M AgriLife Research and Extension Center at Dallas from 2002-2008. In the fall of 2008, I transferred to College Station to take over as director of the Texas Plant Disease Diagnostic Lab when long-time director, Dr. Larry Barnes, retired.”
The plant disease laboratory’s mission is to support Texas A&M AgriLife Research, Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service, Texas Department of Agriculture, the agriculture and green industry, and all Texans to protect and secure our plant resources.
Ong said working on plant diseases such as citrus canker and rose rosette disease to gain knowledge and to develop educational resources for homeowners and the industry is most satisfying.
Meeting the needs of Texans
There is always a need for plant health support, from the homeowner dealing with disease in landscape and garden plants to the producers who depend on the crops they grow.
“I enjoy meeting the needs of Texas,” he said. “We are ready to meet those needs and tackle the issues with applied research and engaging outreach programs.”
Ong said one of the challenges for the laboratory is always the need to expand its technology to stay on the cutting edge.
“But the fun part is doing and using good science to help folks learn and make good decisions when they are dealing with plant diseases,” he said.
