Your garden has been waiting for Spring all Winter long!
Last weekend we sprung into Spring with all the rain and the milder temperatures. With these first signs of Spring, we can begin to clean up, prune, and fertilize our gardens. It's time to remove Winter's effects and fertilize to help push new growth and bring on the flowers. This is a great time to assess what you want to add to your garden, and what projects you should begin. When pruning, a good general rule is not to prune more than a third of the plant off at one time. Always fertilize after you prune with a balanced palm fertilizer. We carry the fertilizer that Martin County has approved for residential use (12-0-8). Feel free to perform minor touch-up and maintenance pruning all year long. If you have any questions about how to prune, ask us, we're happy to help you keep your garden blooming and bursting!
And speaking of Springing Ahead...Don't forget to set your clocks ahead at 2:00AM this Sunday, March 8th!
There's another sign of Spring!
