Week of February 13th, 2010

Prune evergreens, roses, trees.
Plant evergreens and trees.
You may want to wait to cut back tropicals or perennials that are frost-tender (like shrimp plant)
Clumping, ornamental grasses: that is a personal choice. Prune now or later.
Don't dig up supposedly “dead” plants. It is way too early for many of them to send out new growth.
Plant potatoes.
Start warm season vegetables indoors. This includes tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant.
Apply weed pre-emergents like corn gluten. Do not apply in areas that you plan to seed with flowers or vegetables!
