This month in the garden: January

January: this month in the garden!

Gardener's TO DO LIST

PLANT
• Plant bare root flowering cherry and plum fruit trees. January is also a great time to plant dogwood and maple trees!
• The first of our summer bulbs (gladiolas, dahlias and lilies) arrive in select stores this month. Call ahead to the Sloat location nearest you for information.

FERTILIZE:
• Top dress roses and tender plants with Sloat Forest Mulch Plus.

PRUNE/MAINTAIN:
• Prune roses, shrubs and trees. Need a little guidance? Check out our new Pruning Seminar series!
• Prune and cut back perennials & ornamental grasses.
• Keep up on cleaning winter debris from beds and containers.
• Stop the weeds! Weeds that begin with winter rains go to seed in March & April. But the clever gardener never lets them get that far. Pull weeds now before they go to seed.
• Now is the time to remove plants that aren’t thriving to make room for healthier plants. Sad, but true!
• Deadhead flowering plants to encourage additional blooms.
