Keep strawberry beds weed free. Every weed pulled now will make weeding
much easier next spring.
¨ When planting spring bulbs, the depth of planting varies with the size of the bulb; for example, tulips are about five to six inches, four to seven inches for daffodils, three to four inches for hyacinths and one and one-half to three inches for small bulbs. A good rule of thumb when planting bulbs is to set them three times as deep as the bulbs’ greatest width.
¨ Bring poinsettia inside. It is best to repot into a similar but slightly larger container, using a regular commercial potting soil. Then, place in a warm, sunny window.
¨ Don’t wait for frost warnings to bring houseplants indoors. For many tropical houseplants, night temperatures of 50oF or lower, can cause damage. Check all houseplants for pests and diseases and repot if needed.
