Terragen Gardening Tips for March

• Start planning your annual beds by measuring the length and width of the areas to be planted.  Visit our Garden Market and pick out your favorites.  We will be fully stocked with early season annuals by March 13th.  Specific colors that we may not have on hand can be ordered and brought in for you.
• Bring plants that have been left in basements or crawl spaces out of hiding and prune back any dead shoots.  Next, repot them into new soil, set in a warm place, and water.  As growth begins, fertilize and move into a sunny window.
• When the warm weather kicks in, fertilize pansies, violas, and other winter annuals and pinch them back so that they regain a bushy form.  A shot of 20-20-20 will do wonders to help get them up to speed quicker.
• March is a great month to apply pre-emergent herbicides around bedding plants.  Identify the weeds that you want to control. Then, come in to see us, and we will help you to pick out the right product for the job.
• Cut back perennial plants and grasses and fertilize with slow release fertilizer around the root line of the plants but never directly on top of new growth.
• Make sure that you weed beds in early March so that they do not have the opportunity to go to seed and spread.
• March is a great time to plant roses.  We will have a full line of climbing, miniature, Hybrid Tea, and Knockout Roses available. A special addition to the line this year is the Sunny Yellow Knockout Rose.
• March 20th is Arbor Day in North Carolina.  Please make plans to plant a tree, or if you would like we will plant one for you in honor of the holiday.  March is a great time to plant trees, and we will have a great selection available from 3-gallon size all the way up to balled-and-burlapped field grown trees.  Let us know what size you would like, and we will bring it in for you. We can also deliver it to your home and planting services are available.
• March is a great time to plant strawberries.  We will have a full line available for you to choose from. 
• Start planning your vegetable and herb gardens.  A full line of organically grown herbs and vegetable plants as well as seeds will arrive at the beginning of April.
• Happy planning and planting and most of all - “Happy Spring!”
