Follow through on your New Year's resolutions for the garden.
Tasks--Spray apricots and walnuts with horticultural oil and fixed copper.
Pruning--Cut back and divide perennials.
Fertilizing--Fertilize roses this month or next.
Planting--gladiolus, Oriental hybrid (Lilium); onion sets, parsley, radish; Iceland poppy (Papaver nudicaule), primrose (Primula malacoides); roses (Rosa), bridal wreath spiraea (Spiraea prunifolia).
Things to Ponder--This is a good time to divide African violets for early spring bloom.
[I'm not out in the garden today--I may be coming down with a cold, it is damp and chilly outside, and so I am staying in trying to head off any illness].
