Gardener's Calendar | BHN Gardening Suggestions

Herbs are in good supply for early planting. Groom or divide your established plants.
As perennials begin growing protect the new shoots from slugs and snails. Consider evening escargot hunts.
Check your watering system for leaks. If automatic, set at low until our weather warms up.
You’ll still find a good selection of Camellias at the nursery.
Start using your compost as a surface mulch around shrubs and perennials.

This is your first safe opportunity for planting Tomatoes here. Our selection peaks over the next 6 weeks.
Treat yourself to a new garden hat as the sun reaches higher in the sky.
Prune deciduous flowering shrubs (Lilac, Flowering Quince, Forsythia) now, during or after bloom.
Acid-loving plants like Camellias, Azaleas and Rhododendrons are in their growing season. Switch fertilizers now.
Narcissus (Daffodil) leaves should be kept growing after they bloom in order to come back next year. Tie them back, but don’t remove them.
