Gardener’s To Do List - March

Mary in All Posts, Green Garden Tips, Monthly To Do's

Prune fruit trees, shrubs, roses before spring growth starts - do not prune spring flowering shrubs.
Cut Butterfly Bush close to the ground and also Dogwood if you wish.
March 15th - force forsythia or cherry branches to flower indoors.
Trim herbs to just above the ground.
Turn compost.
Spray Dormant Oil and Lime Sulphur before buds grow on fruit trees and roses.
Prepare vegetable garden soil as soon as it is dry enough.
Cut back and re-pot houseplants.
Plant seeds that are to be started indoors (research - some seeds need darkness to germinate, so cover the flats with newspaper; others should be covered with plastic to retain moisture).
