  • Plant spring-blooming bulbs.
  • Plant any trees or shrubs.
  • Take advantage of warmer days to clean out flower beds and prune back dead growth.
  • Plan your spring gardening by surveying, taking photos and measuring. Read Neil Sperry’s Texas gardening books or The Best of Texas by the Texas Nursery and Landscape Association.

  • Plant pansies, ornamental cabbage and kale, snapdragons and dianthus.
  • Plant trees, shrubs and perennials.
  • Be sure to water your yard thoroughly before any hard freeze — dry soil will freeze deeper and cause more damage to plants.
  • Mulch with bark to conserve moisture and insulate plants’ roots.
  • Many birds will “cache” or hide seeds for use during the winter. With natural foods sources at a low point this year, provide plenty of fresh bird food from Wild Birds Unlimited.

  • Continue to monitor all plants for moisture strees. If the ground is dry, water thoroughly.
  • Use a fertilizer with weed preventer, such as Ferti-lome All Seasons.  A fall application of fertilizer is critical after this difficult summer.  This product will also stop weed seeds from sprouting.
  • Plant trees, shrubs, perennials, garden mums and pansies.

  • Monitor all plants for heat and moisture strees. If the ground is dry, water thoroughly.
  • Mulch around trees and flower beds — 3 inches of bark mulch will help conserve water. (HINT: Don’t use rubber or rocks — they will make the soil hotter and reflect heat onto your plants).
  • Spot treat for weeds in the lawn. Bring in samples so we can help you find the right product.
