January Gardener’s to do list

January Gardener’s to do list
1.
Top dress roses and tender plants with Sloat Forest Mulch Plus.
2. Prune roses, shrubs, trees, perennials & ornamental grasses. Treat yourself to an after-holiday gift -- a new pair of Felco or Bahco pruners or new blades for the old ones.
3. Keep up on cleaning winter debris from beds and containers.
4. Stop the weeds! Weeds that begin with winter rains go to seed in March & April. Pull weeds now before they go to seed.
5. Remove plants that aren't thriving to make room for healthier plants. Make the job easier -- gloves are on sale this month for Gardener's Reward Members.
6. Deadhead flowering plants to encourage additional blooms.
