This an excellent time to begin planning new garden projects or landscape designs, so you can get things organized and ordered in March and April for planting in May before the hot weather is upon us. I am available for consultation, design and planning work now. Many times my clients wait until spring is well underway before they start thinking about new landscaping or gardening projects. By the time they plan, research best suppliers, get the soil preparation completed, it is already June. The hot weather is then in full swing making it necessary to do almost daily waterings of newly placed shrubs and flowers. Contact me for design and consultation at [email protected].
The snow may only last another month, and as soon as the soil is workable in April, some planting can be done. Morning glories can be planted in April and will survive the last spring frosts. Bedding plants of greens and snapdragons can go into the ground in April here in Northeast Ohio. I always purchase and plant my snapdragons when they are still very small, long before they have bloomed. The flower quality will be far superior. As a general rule, most annual flowers will give you larger, better quality blooms if they do not stay in their small bedding containers too long.
