Tips

Spring Bulb Fertilization


Where daffodil, crocus, and hyacinth bulbs are starting to emerge, sprinkle fertilizer around them to help the bulbs grow and flower better. Add 1 small handful of Bulb Booster (9-9-6) or a 10-10-10 fertilizer per square foot of bulbs.


Prune Apple Trees

Prune apple trees before buds swell. Remove any dead, broken, obviously diseased, and crossing branches. Prune so the tree has branches evenly spaced around the tree with 45-degree branch angles and an open center.


Take Geranium Cuttings

Prune back indoor, leggy geraniums to 1 foot tall. To root the cuttings, take 4- to 6-inch-pieces, dip the cut end in rooting hormone, place in a pot of moistened soilless potting mix, and cover with a clear plastic bag.
