Welcome to Nassau Bay Officer Brown!
NASSAU BAY GARDEN CLUB
March… Spring has been teasing us ever since. Groundhog day predictions means Nassau Bay is in for an early spring. Now is the time for all gardeners to prepare their plants for spring! March To Do List: Roses: Prune no later than the middle of March so that pruning is complete before the last frost. Trim away any criss-cross stems and dead wood (brown all the way through). Remove all remaining leaves as pests or disease may be on them. Be sure to pick up and discard all trimmings. Prune roses by cutting 1/4 inch to 1/2 inch above an outward facing bud eye (small bump where leaf would meet the stem). Cut at a 45° angle. Prune to the height desired for the bush. Climbing Roses: The energy of a climbing rose is spent on regrowing first and flowering second. This kind of rose has two types of canes (branches), main and lateral. The canes coming directly from the base should never be pruned. Therefore, if energy is spent on regrowth of the main canes, it will not flower. Lateral canes (other than the main canes) can be pruned anytime of the year after blooming. Knock Out Roses: These roses can be found in many esplanades and public planters. Knock out roses usually need pruning in their second or third season, or after they grow to a mature height of 3 to 4 feet. Prune them the same time of year as other roses. They bloom on new growth and can be cut back to about 1/3 of their height. Knock out roses grow in phases (bloom-rest-bloom), so if a mid-season trim is needed, do so immediately after blooming. Crêpe Myrtle: Crêpe myrtles need to be cut now as it is leafless and you can see all the branches. It blooms on new growth. Happy Gardening! March 12, 2019 Garden Club General Meeting Social 9:30am ● Program 10:00am ● Meeting to Follow Master Gardener Julie Cartmill will share all what is needed to know about trees. She will be talking about moss ball, Spanish moss, and “crêpe murder.” She will also share many ideas on replacing a lost tree. Pruning tips will also be given, so please come and join us for this very timely informational program! This program is open to all, so please come join us for some coffee, great morning snacks, and an opportunity to meet your fellow Nassau Bay gardeners!
