We tend to foUow gardening traditions that are more suitable for farms than 3 home vegetable gardens. For instance, most people tend to plant rows that are wide enough to drive a tractor through. One of the best ways to save water is to plant as dose together as the particular plant instructions allow. You can plant in circles, squares, triangles, whatever, as long as you leave enough room to reach the weeds.

Finish tree pruning. Remember to remove any diseased or broken limbs. During the dormant period, there is no need to worry about sanitizing the cutting heads between cuts. Especially remember to prune off any cankers (apple and pear trees). All primings should be burned or shredded, this is especially important for fireblight fr reblight cankers. 2. Growth is starting soon. Apple: Ifyou had problems with aphids, scales, red mites campylomma or leafrollers, it would be a good idea to apply a delayed dormant spray. Spray when the trees just starting to grow (green tq to 12T green). Use a dormant oil (horticultural oil) plus a registered insecticide commercial orchaidist might use Supradde, Loisban (best for campylomma, leafrollers A aphids), or Thiodan; home might use Diazinon or Thiodan. Pear Bert earty season pear psylla control comes from using a true dormant spray (about six weeks before bloom). This is when the psyQa are starting to lay eggs. Use oil plus an insecticide Thiodan, lime sulfiir or kaolin day ( Surround, 3 applications 2-- required).

Before long we will be rushing to the nurseries and garden centers to pick out annuals of every hue and color to fill empty spaces invading our landscapes. Before you descend upon the nurseries waving your credit card, make a plan for what to plant in those vacant spaces, says Marion Winger, Utah State University Extension agent Making a plan may seem compulsive, he says. However, designing tire flower bed before ever looking at aflower or entering a garden center ensures that the flowers will fit the design, instead of the other way around.; The first thing to do is measure tire flower beds, Winger advises. Then, using graph paper draw the beds to scale. Typically, make one' square on the paper equal one square foot Make drawings as accurate as possible to the actual shape of the bed$ and then make scleral copies. : Next, use adored pencils of crayons to start the design, hfc says.
