Gardening Checklist

January 2-8, 2009

For a new year plant a new garden. Replace overgrown shrubs and plant new ones in their place. The same applies to trees. There are many dwarf and semi-dwarf trees and shrubs available now. Add color to the flower beds and be sure to plant some flowering shrubs.
Bare root season is here. Choose and plant your favorite fruit trees, lilacs, roses, flowering trees and shrubs, berries and grapes now.
When pruning roses, don’t leave any of the old foliage on the plant. On the Monterey Peninsula January 15th is considered the correct week to prune roses.
For color from shrubs in the next couple of months, plant forsythia, acacia, and flowering quince.
Perennial vegetables such as rhubarb, artichokes and asparagus are at your local nursery and now is the time to plant them.
