Today in the Garden

March

Get ready for March Madness as we begin the busiest month for gardeners since October. While it still may rain or turn chilly for a day or two, the weather is ideal for tending to garden chores –planting, pruning, fertilizing and fine-tuning everything from perennial beds to backyard orchards and veggie patches. Remember to keep weeds in check, water if precipitation is inadequate and spread mulch to feed the soil. Rewards for all this work will be many next month, when gardens are glorious and beckon all to enjoy.
