Garden Checklist

From The Fresno Bee, March 11, 2010:

Consider that it takes two large trees to provide enough oxygen for one person over the period of a year.

Tasks--Continue fruit-tree spraying and spray fungicide on apple and cherry trees.
Pruning--Prune spring-flowering shrubs, trees and vines after bloom to improve shape.
Fertilizing--Fertilize acid-loving plants.
Planting--Sow seeds for summer vegetables; impatiens, alyssum (Lovularia) from seed; tiger flower (Tigridia); from seed: diakon, eggplant, melon, pumpkin; Lenten rose (Helleorus orientalis), coral bells (Huchera), gayfeather (Liatris); wild lilac (Ceanothus), deodar (Cedrus deodara), redbud (Cercis occidentalis), citrus.
Things to Ponder--Protect tomatoes, peppers and eggplant from a late frost by using hot caps or floating row covers.
