WEEKEND GARDENER

Plant a Tree

Arbor Day is celebrated in California in March, so make a plan—and pick a spot— to plant a tree.

Before it Rains Agai

If the weather is nice this weekend, get out and do some serious work. Finish pruning roses, grapes and deciduous fruit and nut trees. (If you want more grape vines, stick a few of the pruned cuttings into the ground—they root easily.) Put any bulbs that haven’t been planted into the ground right away. Pull weeds while the ground is still very moist and before they take over everything.

Repot Cymbidiums

If your cymbidium orchids are bulging out of their containers, repot them from now until the end of June. Remove the old bark, discard dead roots and rotted bulbs, and transfer the entire plant into a larger container flled with cymbidium mix or bark. You can also split up the plant into groups of three to fve bulbs with leaves and repot each division individually and the San Leandro Times on Thursday. You can also save $5 by placing your ad on our website at castrovalleyforum.com or sanleandrotimes.com. We’ll call you for your credit or debit card info for payment.

To place an ad by phone call Patrick Vadnais at 510-614-1560, Mon-Fri 9 a.m. - 1 p.m.
