Gardening Checklist

April 10-23, 2009

As the soil warms this is the month to plant a vegetable garden. If you’re short on garden space, use containers on the patio.
Divide primroses as soon as they are finished blooming.
Shady areas of the garden can be livened up with fibrous begonias, lobelia, impatiens, bleeding heart and astilbes.
Deciduous flowering shrubs and trees can be pruned right after they finish blooming.
Pinch back new growth for fuller fuchsias. This goes for petunias as well.
Try morning glories, sweet peas, nasturtiums or black-eyed Susan vines to hide an unattractive fence, to provide shade or create privacy on your porch.
Start feeding camellias, azaleas, and rhododendrons an acid fertilizer when they STOP blooming.
