foliage. Excessive trimming can
heavily stress the plant, potentially
causing you to lose a year of blooms
or killing the plant altogether.
Whenever you prune, individual
branch cuts should be made on a
45-degree angle, just above the
nearest existing bud. Prune hedges
just below all fading flowers.
Second, if you have been
considering transplanting a poorly
placed or unruly tree or shrub, now is
the time. Spring’s cool nights
and moist ground
provide
the
ideal environment for reestablishing
a plant’s root system. If the plant has
been there for more than a couple of
years, consider root pruning at last
one month in advance of moving
it. This allows the root system to
begin stimulating new root hair
growth closer to the plant’s crown
and can reduce the amount of stress
on the plant when you physically
transplant it. Root pruning is easy:
simply insert a shovel blade all the
way around the plant at its drip line
to sever lateral roots and leave
it in place. Also, consider
trimming back some
branches to compensate
for the smaller root system
as you transplant. Do not
fertilize until you see new growth
beginning to push and then
provide an appropriate
slow
release
product. Some
perennials,
such
as
F e r n s ,
H o s t a ,
a n d
Daylillies,
if
they
have been
established for a couple of years
can be divided, which will not only
provide you with more of those plants
but also increase the vitality and
blooms of the original plants. More
flowers and free plants sound good to
me.
Third, for all of us itching to
get our vegetables underway, now
is the time to prepare your garden
soil. Lime is a must, because it raises
the PH of our naturally acidic soil
and the calcium and magnesium in
particular will ensure your bevy of
veggies are not ruined by bloom
end rot. Vegetables have varying
fertilizer needs. Tomatoes, peppers,
and squash, for instance, are heavy
feeders, and rely on plenty of organic
matter and supplemental fertilizers.
Moderate feeders, such as beans,
peas, dill, and parsley, appreciate
supplements but don’t need them to
thrive. The process of crop rotation
(moving the location of specific
plants in the garden from year to
year) is an effective way to control
insects, weeds, and diseases while
enhancing soil fertility and increasing
crop yields. So change it up year to
year.
Finally, when to plant your
garden? Keep in mind that our last
potential frost date stretches into May.
Due to the undulating topography
surrounding the lake area, low spots
can leave young vegetable plants and
tender annual flowers susceptible to
damaging frosts, so plant only if you
are willing to protect them on those
cold nights. Now let’s get digging!
