The first tip is to try to attend as many of the spring Home and Garden Shows that you can. A few were held in February but now in the next month – they’re being held all over. We will be having a booth at three different shows this spring – Lonsdale, MN, New Prauge, MN and of course, the Northfield Show.
Go ahead and continue pruning your shrubs and trees. Be careful not to prune spring flowering shrubs now. If you give your lilac shrubs a haircut now – you will be pruning off the flower buds that you want to have blossom in May/June. Spring flowering shrubs are best pruned after they have flowered. Example – prune your lilacs in late June.
Even though this has been a very mild winter – we all have spring fever. Try to stay off your lawn until the frost has left and the area has dried out. If you put alot of traffic on your lawn when it is wet in the spring – you will compact the soil and damage the grass.
