14 March Gardening Tips
- Fertilize your poinsettias

- Buy your bulbs that bloom in the summer
- Begin your seeds inside
- Begin begonias using peat moss
- Start planning your new garden
- Send out a sample of soil to be tested
- Have a lawn mower tune-up
- Sharpen your pruning shears

- Cut your woody perennials so they’re around 6” above the ground.
- Push back any frost-heaved plants into the ground.
