For all of you, who like me, are counting the days down until the first day of spring, welcome to Gardens and Such. This is a blog by the owners of GardensAndSuch.com. We're here to talk about the care, feeding, trimming, planting, etc. of your landscape bedding plants.
We hope to offer valuable advice about things such as: when to prune and when not to prune, when to feed, when to plant…you see what we mean.
So, if you're reading, and have a question, don't hesitate to post a comment. We'll get right back to you. Or, is there something we haven't covered yet? Then, start the conversation.
Until the next post, I will be picking up sticks and debris that the wind and winter weather knocked down from our trees. When the temps reach sweatshirt levels, I will be raking left over fall debris from the plant beds and trimming back ornamental grasses. Think about this in your own garden. Getting this done ahead of time will keep it from crowding out time for planting new perennials. Getting them started in the spring will ensure established plants by late summer.
It's also time to think about planting evergreens, fruits, and flowering shrubs. If you live in the midwest, consider adding some prairie plants to your garden.
