Your Garden in March by Travis Knoop —Resident Submission
March is the time to plant your cool season annuals and veggies! Here are some basic tips that will help you prepare your garden as the season changes.
• •
Annuals - Dianthus, Snapdragons, violas, pansies
Cool season veggies - peas, lettuce, radishes (as soon as garden soil is workable)
•
Be sure to add compost in your garden beds to build and amend your soils (if you didn’t do it in the fall)
•
Great additives to add to your soils in March are worm castings, nutri mulch, and black kow.
•
If you’ve been storing bulbs, check their condition to ensure that they are firm, and remove any that are soft or rotten.
• •
March is the month to plant bare root trees and shrubs.
Fertilize spring-flowering bulbs such as tulips, daffodils, fritillaria and crocus with a fertilizer high in phosphorus.
•
March is a great time to prune your fruit trees such as apples, pears, peaches, cherries, plums, apricots but be sure to do it before they blossom.
