Hello Friends and Family, Spring is finally here (even if the weather hasn't realized that yet!) Today I want to share a video with you about mindset and spreading a positive attitude to those around you. It's easy to feel a little less cheerful, especially with gloomy weather and cold temps, but keeping a positive outlook can make your life a whole lot sunnier!
Spring Gardening Tips from Mulhall's Landscape Designer Karen Richards
- Prune trees and shrubs except spring bloomers like Forsythia, Bridal Spirea, Lilacs, and Azaleas.
- Remember NOT to prune “Endless Summer” hydrangeas until they leaf out.
- Cut back ornamental grasses, perennials and liriope before new growth appears.
- Apply pre-emergent to lawns and flower beds. Pay special attention to the lawn along the edge of the road as it warms up quicker and consequently weed seeds will germinate quicker…….especially the dreaded crab grass!
- Spring containers can be planted as soon as the soil in the pots thaws out…………………..pansies are a safe bet since they can tolerate low temperatures.
- Prune roses in April and fertilize.
- Starting in May summer containers can be planted.
- Plant annuals after Mother’s Day.
- In May, monitor plants for health and well-being, especially bagworms and spider mites.
- Prune azaleas, forsythia and Bridal spirea.
- Divide Irises and re-plant
- Remove spent tulip bulbs and tuck daffodil (and other perennial bulbs) foliage under new growth of perennials. Do not cut the foliage of spring bulbs as they need to re-charge the bulbs for the next spring.
