Houseplants come in nearly every size, shape and color Very easy to grow since your house's climate is pretty consistent Cold Protection Our streak of unseasonably warm weather has ended! If a freeze is expected, make sure that all outdoor plants have been watered well. Plants in containers can be grouped close together on a porch or patio, or moved to a protected area. After a hard freeze water ornamental cabbage and pansies to help rehydrate their wilted leaves Prune Now is good time to prune overgrown trees and shrubs. Do not prune spring flowering trees and shrubs like dogwoods, flowering cherries and azaleas. Wait until after they bloom to prune them. Transplant & Plant Continue to plant or transplant shrubs, trees and perennials as long as the ground is not frozen. Transplanting and planting gives plants more time to establish before the summer heat Mower Maintenance Now is a good time to clean and maintain your lawn mower and other gardening equipment.
