Here are some timely landscaping tips for the month of May!
Weed all beds thoroughly
Remove all winter mulch, compost & branches
Beds should be re-mulched
Keep watering new and transplanted shrubs (2-3x/week)
Prune back spring-flowering shrubs after they've finished blooming (forsythia, lilac, azalea) and any dead wood
Continuously prune clematis to cut out dead/weak growth
In flowering trees, remove dead wood only
Prune/hedge evergreens
Plant potted roses and fertilize
Finish dividing spring and fall blooming perennials
Stake peonies, delphiniums, and garden phlox early
Repair lawn patches, seed/sod
Plant annual seeds
Start planting annuals outside AFTER last frost - typically May 15.
Enjoy your gardening experience!
