Nurseries will have plants in bloom now so you can find the colors you really want before you plant them.
Tasks: Feed cool-weather lawns late in the month.
Pruning: Cut back scented geraniums to 18 inches.
Fertilizing: Fertilize spring-flowering shrubs.
Planting: Group plants with similar water needs together; dianthus, gladiolus; from seeds: beets, carrots, eggplant, peas, lobella, sweet alyssum (Lobularia); cotoneaster, raywood ash (Fraxinus angustifolia).
Things to Ponder: Leave frost-damaged growth on tender plants as protection until the danger of frost is past. Begin pruning as new growth emerges.
