More Things To Do In The Garden

--Apply rose food every six weeks beginning now through October.
--Prune and clean up beneath flowering shrubs such as camellias, quince and forsythia.
--Prune out suckers (the branches that sprout directly from the root stock beneath the soil) from trees and shrubs.
--March is an excellent time to begin fertilizing cool season grasses, such as fescue. Apply every six weeks now through June; resume feeding September through early November.
