Gardening Checklist

January 9-15, 2009

Get off to an early start on gladiolus plantings. Start now and every two to three weeks plant another batch for a succession of bloom starting early summer.
Be sure to bait for snails and slugs with “Sluggo” (which is safe for pets) when you plant winter bedding plants.
January is the time to plant summer blooming bulbs – watsonia, cannas, gladiolus and more.
Spray for pests and diseases now while your garden is dormant. Check with a “Certified Pesticide Applicator” for the best control and application rate.
It’s still a good time to plant 15 gallon and larger flowering trees.
