    April 2008 Gardening Tips

    Here are some tips to prepare your lawn and garden this month:

    - Plan, design, and create new landscape and garden beds, if desired.

    - Keep a notebook / journal with all your garden information in it.

    - Transplant large trees and shrubs before mid April.

    - In early April, cut back ornamental grasses (including liriope) to within a few inches of the ground. New growth is about to emerge.

    - Plant annual seeds of asters, cosmos, marigolds, zinnias in the garden.

    - Set the blade on your lawnmower to cut the grass at 2 1/2 inches to avoid scalping.

    - Fertilize your lawn this month, as long as the weather is starting to warm.

    - Carefully trim shrubs, as birds may be nesting inside. If you see a bird's nest, leave the trimming for another time.

    - One of the best hot-weather, summer plants is the periwinkle (vinca). Prepare to plant these in May.

    - Go for a walk in the woods or the park at least once each season to enjoy a little bit of Mother Nature's gardening handiwork.

    - Celebrate Earth Day by adopting an earth-friendly practice such as composting or using organic fertilizers and pesticides.

    - Plant vegetable seeds of melons, squash, cucumber and sweet corn directly into the garden.

    - Plant pansies, violas and primroses for early spring color in the landscape.

    - Water enough to wet the soil 4” to 6” down. Grass roots will grow deeper and the lawn will be healthier.

    - Do not spray insecticides while fruits flower, in order to protect the honeybees.

    - Use a leaf rake, not an iron rake, to loosen up mats of dead grass and remove debris that fell over the winter. 

    - Rotate indoor plants a quarter turn so all sides get sunlight from a window.

    How to Seed Bare Spots And Thin Areas - Provided by Scotts
    Summer heat and drought usually cause thin brown spots in the lawn. Luckily, fall is the best time to seed and it’s EASY! Follow these simple steps and you’ll have a thick, green lawn.
