Garden Tips for February
- Continue planting winter annuals such as pansies dianthus, snapdragons and chard on warmer days.
- Sow your seeds for spring annuals and veggies, inside, per instructions based on the last frost date for your area. Remember they need full sun and temperatures around 65 to 70 degrees (watch out for those cold window sills!).
- Don’t forget to divide and replant your summer and fall blooming perennials while they are still dormant.
- Now is an excellent time to plant or relocate native and cold hardy trees and shrubs while they are dormant. It is also the perfect time to perform any tree trimming.
- Get ready to start pruning your roses. A good rule of thumb to help remember this is to prune them around Valentine’s Day. Don’t forget that your climbing roses won’t need any trimming until after they bloom in spring.
- Get mulch into your flower beds before the weather warms up and weeds really begin to sprout.
- Don’t forget to fertilize your winter annuals throughout the winter and continue into spring. Use a complete, water soluble fertilizer to help them get established while it’s still cold.
