March: Go!

First Bloom!

Well, I have not posted the "on-your-mark" and "get-ready" phases of my garden planning during the last several weeks. So, I will simply jump in and post some of my notes inspired from today's Home and Garden section of the newspaper ...
  • remove debrid from garden bed (especially around daffodils)
  • schedule "scalping" mow of lawns
  • determine where this year's focus work areas will be
  • decide how much garden soil to have trucked in
  • mulch/lasagna garden bare spots to avoid weeds sprouting up
  • determine paths through garden and begin to clear, clear, clear!
  • designate perennials to transplant and divide
  • try growing a "salad" garden plot DUE by March 15
  • designate plots for designed vegetable garden diamond
More to come!





(BTW: The notes preceding this post were not compiled by me ... I am not sure why I didn't cite the source. Those tips must of come from one of the e-newsletters I subscribed to.)
