If you are like me, you are always forgetting what needs to be done; and when it needs to be done in the Garden.  So here’s a little reminder for those of you who live in Central California or like zones.

January-

• Choose and plant Bare Root Fruit trees and Vines
• Dormant spray Fruit Trees and roses  with copper and oil.
• Prune dormant Trees, Shrubs, Roses and Crape Myrtles.
• Plant late crop of Onions and Garlic
• Last chance to plant Sweet Pea seed for spring bloom
• Blooming Primrose are in for late winter color
• Best selection of new roses are out.

For February-

• Dormant spray Fruit Trees, shrubs and Roses.
• Plant Potatoes, Asparagus, Strawberries and Rhubarb.
• Renovate, re-seed and plant new lawns.
• Mulch Camellias, Azaleas and Rhododendrons with Gardener and Bloome’s acid planting mix.
• Spray flowering trees with “florel” to prevent fruit.
• Fertilize lawns with pre-emergent fertilizer to control summer weeds
• Apply Greenlights ‘Amaze’ pre-emergent to flower beds.

Happy Gardening.
