March Gardening Tips

Plant window boxes and containers. Use showy annual flowers to brighten up your porch and patio for spring. Angelonia, dusty miller, zinnias, begonias, and violas are good options.
Prune and fertilize. After camellias and azaleas have completed blooming, clip back for general shape up. Fertilize and mulch around plants.

Feed palms. Dig in a slow release fertilizer around the base of plants. Keep palms well watered during dry seasons.

Plant warm-weather vegetables. Plant berries, tomatoes, peppers, squash, and corn for late spring harvests.

Plant summer-blooming bulbs. Summer flowering bulbs, such as cannas, dahlias, caladiums, and gloriosa lilies can be planted now.
