Dormant Spray & Bulb Fertilizing

Hey gardeners! Just a quick reminder that you are almost out of time to get that dormant spray on your trees and shrubs.  I went out and took care of my fruit trees, ornamental cherries, deciduous shrubs and Japanese Maples today with a oil lime sulfur spray that I mix from concentrate in a spray bottle. It doesn’t take much time, but it helps keep away the fungus and bugs come spring.  This is a MUCH more effective and MUCH less toxic way of taking care of business than anything you can do once growing season starts. 

Oh, and I noticed that my spring bulbs are starting to pop up and reach for the sun. It’s a good idea to sprinkle a little bulb fertilizer now to help them along.  It can make a big difference in daffodils and tulips.
