Gardening - Calendar for March
Special Notes:
-
As the weather warms you can put your seedlings outside during the day to help harden them for relocation.
-
Start feeding Roses with your favorite rose food once a month.
-
Start feeding the acid-loving plants month until September. I dump my coffee grounds in an old coffee can and when full spread them under my acid-loving plants.
-
Around the middle of the month you can start to plant your seedlings as the weather warms up.
-
Put compost around established trees and shrubs and mix into the soil
