- Check trellis and support wires on climbers before the plants are fully developed. Winds, frost and snow can often dislodge supports during the winter.
- Check the brackets used for hanging baskets. Once the flowers are in full bloom and compost is moist they will become much heavier.
- Dig in compost, manure and other amendments in in planting areas when the soil is dry enough.
- Cover crops are planted to keep soil from eroding during heavy rains. These crops make excellent organic fertilizer. If you have planted cover crops last winter, make sure you turn them now.
- Don't forget to water plants under overhangs. Water new plantings and blooming rhododendron regularly. Feed Rhododendron right after they bloom. Nitrogen is required but not available naturally.
