GARDEN SWEET GARDEN

RUNING

• Prune rose bushes by 30-50% around Valentine’s Day. Make each cut just above a bud.

• Prune shrubs: first remove any dead or damaged branches, then thin out by removing 1/3 of the oldest stems at ground level, and shape the rest of the plant following its natural form.

PLANTING

• Plant cabbage, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower and potatoes.

SUPPORTING WILDLIFE

• Feed the birds. Don’t forget fresh water!

MISCELLANEOUS

• Begin clean-up in the garden and landscape. Remove weeds and debris, prune out dead foliage and cut back perennials.
