February 2007
"Away in a meadow all
covered with snow
The little old groundhog looks for his shadow
The clouds in the sky determine our fate
If winter will leave us all early or late."
-Don Halley
February is often a difficult
month for gardening. We are forced to stay inside, away from the winter
chill, and watch out the window as the days begin to lengthen. Just think,
February is peak strawberry season in Florida. However, while we wait for
berry-picking season to slowly creep it's way up the east coast, we have plenty
of time to plan for the garden. Search through the newspaper and your
favorite garden magazine to find new plants, designs, and containers for your
garden. Finish purchasing all your seeds and have them sorted in time for
spring. Late February to early March is the perfect time to prune summer
flowering trees and shrubs. Stay tuned next month for tips on the correct
way to prune your Crepe Myrtles!
