April showers brought May showers most likely!

 
 
May Gardening Tips

 

  • May is the big month for gardeners! Frost danger is past and you can plant anything!
  • Slugs are eating everything you plant -  Get them with the new safer Iron Phosphate slug baits made by Worry Free and Sluggo - or use the fun methods of putting out a saucer of beer, or going out at night with a flashlight and salting your slugs!
  • Put up a bird house!
  • Control weeds before they go to seed - get the whole root, or the weed will grow back.
  • Make up a hanging basket.

  • Remove seed pods from bloomed out daffodils.

  • As soon as crocus and daffodil leaves turn brown, you can either cut them back to ground level, or if you wait a while longer you can gently give a quick tug to a few leaves, and they will come right out of the ground.

  • Tear out some lawn and replace with Wooly Thyme or Creeping Thyme.

  • Plant up some containers for portable color.
