| 1. As the weather warms, clear your beds of that layer of protective mulch. |
| 2. If march is kind to us, you can plant those spring bulbs for summer blooms. If it's still cold, wait til april. |
| 3. Some trees and shrubs can be planted now, along with bare- root roses. |
| 4. If you're looking to add to your flowering tree collection, shop for them now while they're in bloom, to get a good idea of what you're getting. Check with your friendly advisor at Swan Lake Nurseryland to see what's available for viewing. |
| 5. Rake and edge lawns, weather permitting. |
| 6. If you're planning to paint fences, do it now before you plant, and inevitably have to move, new perennials or annual beds. While you're out there, clean up perennial beds and apply slow-release fertilizer, like van bloem's plant food for perennials, 12-12-9, available at Swan Lake, of course. |
| 7. If you're thinking about it, now would be the time to install drip or other irrigation systems. |
| 8. Clean up flower beds and get patio containers ready for planting up. |
| 9. Water and fertilize lawns and bulbs. |
| 10. Sow vegetables - spinach, lettuce, carrots, parsnips, peas, broad beans, radishes. |
| 11. Weather permitting, start to uncover roses, tender perennials and other more delicate plants. |
| Indoor Projects |
| 1. Time to get those vegetable seeds started indoors. Check your supply of peat pellets, trays and misters. Stock up while the prices are good at Swan Lake. |
