  • Plant cool season veggies – kale, broccoli, beets, etc.

    • Almost too late for some of these crops

  • Plant hardy perennials

  • If you haven’t yet, clean up your vegetable garden area

    • Important to do before you plant because debris can contain insect pests or diseases

  • Plant new areas of turfgrass

    • Getting late for this too!


Things to do later:

  • Plant warm season veggies, like tomatoes

    • They really do better when night time temps are consistently above 45, about Mid-May

  • Cleanup landscape beds

    • Some insects overwinter in stems or leaf litter

    • If possible, save cleanup until nighttime temps are above 45

  • Pruning

    • Its best to prune trees and shrubs during the dormant season, winter

    • If you must prune wait until leaves have emerged and fully developed

    • For spring flowering shrubs, prune immediately after flowering
