Sentiments from Susan
“Wow.” I get thrilled just thinking of the beauty the earth is
bringing this spring! As your bulbs break open, take notes,
place labels to recall what colors you have and hues you may
wish to add next fall. No spring bulbs in your garden? In
autumn, GET some, please. They bring such joy with no work
once you’ve placed them. In the meantime, try some spring &
summer flowering bulbs to fill in where perennials, past their
prime, leave a color void in your gardens. Put some cannas in
pots placed about. Dare something a dab different…“Have
fun.” Free flowers? Pick some Forsythia branches if you have
a shrub, place in a vaseof water and watch them sprout and
flower. When your Forsythia blooms outside, it is time to
uncover your roses.
A Blessed and Happy Easter to you all. .

April Gardening Tips From Pesche’s
1. Do a soil test to determine what amendments you plant beds need.
2. Add 1 to 2 inches of good quality compost to your planting beds this
spring. We recommend Back to Nature products Cotton Burr Compost and Compost Blend.
3. Cut ornamental grasses, Lavender, Russian Sage down to 6” & fertilize
4. Pot stored cannas, begonias, caladium, and dahlias at this time. Set them near a furnace vent.
5. Bring out potted perennials from winter storage, water well and place away from wind.
6. Set Peony rings when stems are 12” tall and remove side buds from larger main blooms
