Spring Tips from the Evening Garden Club
IT’S PLANT SALE SEASON! Local Nurseries and the Benton County Master Gardeners will have hundreds of tempting plants – but DON’T buy BIG, thinking you’ll have a better plant faster. Perennials plant best at 3-5 INCHES tall and small trees soon catch up to bigger ones.
It’s planting time for natives and most other perennials– before summer temperatures arrive and while it’s easy to work the soil. Try not to tread on wet beds – avoid compacting the soil.
Get close to your plants – plop right down on the lawn or pathway and enjoy the wonder of emerging leaves and blossoms. It’s the best way to stay ahead of pests and diseases—you’ll notice more--but also another way to pause and really enjoy your garden.
Fertilize your lawn using a slow-release fertilizer with a 3-1-2 ratio four times a year. Remember when to do it in the PNW with these holidays: EASTER, MEMORIAL DAY, LABOR DAY AND HALLOWEEN
