March Checklist
checkbox Fertilizing
Feed! Feed! Feed! It's time to refresh your garden plants. Fertilize all of your plants to support spring growth. For landscape shrubs and trees feed with EB Stone Organic All Purpose or Master's Formula 49 Multi Purpose Plant Food. If you have citrus or avocado trees, use Master's Citrus Food or EB Stone Organic Citrus and Fruit Tree Food. This is a good time to start feeding fruit trees, grapes and berries. We recommend Master's Fruit Tree & Vine Food or or EB Stone Fruit Tree and Berry Food.
checkbox Prune Camellias
Prune azaleas and camellias into shape after their blooms have faded. Feed them with Master's Camellia, Azalea and Gardenia Food and Iron Plus monthly through October.
checkbox Prevent Yellow Jackets
Place Yellow Jacket traps out early this month to catch the queen before she starts her family. Prevention is the best cure!
checkbox Control Snails
Now is the time to set out snail bait. Use Sluggo, which is non-toxic and labeled for organic gardening. Use Sluggo Plus for control of slugs, snails and insects. We also have slug and snail traps!
checkbox Feed your Lawn
Give your lawn “a meal – not a snack” with Master Green Lawn Food or EB Stone Organic Nature's Green Lawn Food.
checkbox Plant Glads
Remember to plant gladiolus bulbs (corms) every two weeks and you'll have armloads of cut flowers through the summer.
checkbox Provide Water
Remember to water plants under eaves and in containers. It's important now to deep water trees and shrubs if it isn't raining on a regular basis. Their root systems are starting to grow now.
checkbox Plant Potatoes
Plant your potatoes on St. Patrick's Day if you haven't got them in the ground. See us for instructions and best varieties.
checkbox Start Morning Glory Seeds
Start annual morning glories from seed this month and establish them in the garden or a pot by summer! Morning glories are one of the most stunning of the old fashioned garden flowers. Flowers are huge – three to five inches across – and bright, colorful blue, purple or pink. Best of all, morning glories are easy!
