Time to Prune! Get the garden going for Spring with a one day cleanup! Pull those pesky weeds, and trim out the insides of your bushy Crape Myrtles. I was just at a clients house the other day.....new sedum border starting to come back, buds on the Camellias, and the Daffodils are sprouting their green tips-about 4 inches tall-the promise of Spring to come!
Sometimes "landscaping" can be as simple as using existing materials around the house, existing outdoor furniture. A Green Gardner will encourage you to re-use, re-claim, and re-cycle. Get out and pull some weeds, and get your garden ready for spring planting, not to forget amending your soil if need be. Get that pruning done! I noticed at my client's house the other day that his crape myrtles need to have all the little limbs that are broken, crossed, and growing in the wrong direction pruned. Here's to a great planting season for 2013!The Garden Blog |
