Flower Power Garden Hour 171: March To Do & Listener Q&A

Flower Power Garden Hour · Mar 4, 2023 · 13m

It is the March To Do List, and we are still in the heart of winter with lots of cold and wet days. Not just cold and wet – we have had very low elevation snow throughout California…crazy. Spring looms though, and preparation is paramount.

It is time to plant:

· Vegetables: Broccoli, beets, cabbage, cauliflower, chive, collards, swiss chard, kale, lettuce, potatoes, radish

· Start tomato, eggplant, and (maybe) peppers inside

· Annual flowers

· Dahlias & summer bulbs (like gladiolas)

Chores include:

· Prune roses

· Check irrigation

· Transplant actively growing plants

· Cut back dying foliage…
