Ideas and Inspirations for living                                                     February 19, 2014
   
 
Spring is just around the corner.  I can tell from the recent traffic in our greenhouses, you may be suffering from Spring Fever.  While it is still too early for outside gardening, it's a great time for planning your spring gardening activities and starting your seedlings indoors.  It's also time to start thinking about your landscape projects. 
 

A lot of dormant and early spring pruning will soon be going on. Don't just prune because it's spring. The reasons to prune are to control the growth of the plant, shape and remove dead or diseased wood. The only trees that require yearly pruning are fruit trees.  The hardest part of pruning is knowing what to prune and when to prune it. Visit our website for some great pruning tips.

 

Take a minute to treat yourself to fresh flowers and remember the people around you that could also use a fresh flower pick-me-up.  

Think spring,

Starting Seeds Indoor
 
Starting Seeds Indoors

 

Seeds started indoors require the same basic conditions as those started outside. But since their environment must be artificially maintained, it takes a little more attentiveness. Just as for all plants, the three basic requirements are soil, light and water. But in each case there are special considerations.

 

  • It is essential that the soil you use be sterile.  
  • A windowsill is not a good location for starting seeds.
  • Seedlings need a lot of light.
  • Proper moisture is critical.
  • It is important not to start seeds indoors too early.

 Pruning Fruit Trees
 
Although pruning can be intimidating, you'll get the most from your fruit trees with proper pruning. 
   
Fruit trees should be pruned every year. Don't be afraid to prune, but prune for a specific purpose. The objectives are to:Pruning fruit trees
 
  • Develop strong tree structure. This should begin when trees are planted and continued each year thereafter.

     

  • Provide for light penetration. Penetration of the sun is necessary for fruit buds to develop and fruit to mature properly.

     

  • Control tree size. Most fruit trees require pruning to control branch spread and tree height.

     

  • Remove damaged wood. Some wood injury will occur each year from wind damage, fruit weight, diseases and insects.
