Richard Green, of Green Landscape Nursery, has 17 years of experience gardening in the Santa Clarita Valley. He's seen it all: frost, flood, drought. And he'll share with you here what you need to do in your garden this month.
1. Plant groundcovers now
so they will establish strong root systems before hot weather comes.
2. Plant an herb garden
to add fabulous flavors to your cooking, mint to garnish drinks, camomile for a relaxing tea, and catnip for your kitten!
3. Fertilize plants
you didn't last month. Refer to the
March Tips
for what to use.
4. Repair or replace lawns
as needed with seed or sod.
5. Release our ladybugs,
praying matids, and decollate snails to control pests naturally. We also have beneficial earthworms to improve your soil.
6. Cut back now
freeze-damaged plants.
7. Apply our iron to citrus,
azaleas and other acid-loving plants, if the new leaves are yellow between the veins.
