The Dirt Cheap Gardener o FEBRUARY GARDENING TIPS
Begin planting bare root vegetables, such as asparagus, artichoke and rhubarb. Bare root ornamentals such as roses and shade trees may also be planted. Summer annuals (such as petunias and marigolds) can be started indoors now. Be careful when handling seed packets. Pressing on the packet to determine the number of seeds inside can rupture the exterior of the seeds, reducing germination. Thin climbing roses to allow for new spring growth. A good time to till the vegetable garden to expose weeds and seeds and aerate the soil.
o TIP OF THE WEEK
Make a watering can from your liquid laundry detergent plastic container. Rinse thoroughly to remove all traces of detergent. Drill 1/8 inch hole in top of cap and 1/2 inch hole just above the handle to allow pressure to escape so that water will flow easily. This would also work well when mixing plant food and fertilizer with water. More weekly tips... o TOP 10 DIRT CHEAP GARDENING TIPS... o RECIPES... Check out our scrumptious recipes.
