- Draw up
your garden plans –
this is the time to dream
and scheme!
- Winter
pruning on a sunny day can
give life and bloom to neglected
or overgrown shrubs. However,
don’t prune spring-blooming
plants like forsythia, azaleas
or rhododendron as you will
be cutting off the coming
blooms.
- Holiday
plants like poinsettia, amaryllis
and Christmas cactus will
last longer in cool temperatures.
Feed poinsettias with a water
soluble fertilizer (20-20-20)
whenever the soil dries out.
- Make friends
with the birds…Put out
America's Favorite
Birdseed and
C&S Suet Cakes.
- Heavy snow
and ice can damage evergreens
and birches. Gently brush
off shrubs and prop up leaning
birches if necessary.
- Spray houseplants
with Safer Houseplant
Insecticidal Soap
if spider mites or mealy bug
are present.
- Spray shrubs
and trees with Liquid
Fence, if deer are
destroying them.
- Rotate
your houseplants a half-turn
every other week to expose
foliage to improved light
conditions and eliminate bending.
- Start seeds
indoors for early spring planting.
- Fertilize
new seedlings with Ferti-lome
Fish Emulsion Fertilizer 5-1-1.
- Add color
to your world with plants
from our greenhouse…orchids,
primrose, African violets
and more!
