News from the Master Gardener

Winter is no time to neglect your garden!  January is the perfect time to start preparing for spring blooms and veggies. 

If you're using Corn Gluten Meal this year as a preemergent, now is time for the first application. With warm weather the weeds start sooner. Remember,  20#'s per 1,000 square feet minimum is the spread rate.
