February ToDo's

 














Just because it was 80 degrees yesterday and you caught spring fever doesn't mean that next
week there won't be snow! I am happy to see some warm weather, too, but know that I shouldn't
get too enthusiastic!

 Here are some things to do now:

• plant radish, English peas, lettuce, spinach, Asian greens all outside from seed 
• buy and plant snapdragons, sweet william, dusty miller transplants
• be sure to put in some broccoli and chard transplants, plant a few sets of onions to have on hand
• plant blueberry, raspberry, asparagus
• give your monkey grass a hair-cut before new growth starts next month
• prune your knock out roses, your hybrid teas, too, if you have them.
• prepare pots for planting tomatoes next month
• put out Llama beans in garden beds for a healthy boost!
• whack butterfly bushes to 1/2 

 February is the beginning of our Southern gardening season. The next 8 months are soooo delightful.

Blessings from the Garden.
