Gardening - Calendar for February
Special Notes:
-
Finish up any pruning.
-
This is the last month to spray dormant oil on deciduous trees and shrubs
-
Prepare your flower and vegetable beds
-
Amend your soil by checking the pH. You can get a small kit at your local nursery. Alfalfa meal or pellets can be added to balance the pH and also add important trace elements to your soil. I also put this around my Roses.

FEBRUARY 17 is generally the last call for planting any bareroot
