Flower Power Garden Hour 133: February To Do List

Feb 6, 2022

This episode is the garden To Do list for the month of February – actually quite a busy month.

• Fruit trees – spray liquid copper for peach leaf curl before they bloom. Also time to spray dormant oil if you have insects overwintering
• Prune fruit trees, roses (except one time blooming), grapes, blackberries – ensure you have a few days of dry weather following. Hold off on pruning frost sensitive plants
  
  
• Plant:
  • Broccoli, beets, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, chard, collards, kale, mustard, peas
  • Can start potatoes & radishes towards end of the month
  • Bare root roses, fruit trees
  • Can start tomatoes & peppers inside
    
    
• Soil amendment: Get organic material in there for spring planting.  Compost, manure, beneficial nematodes
  
  
• Cleanup: Weed control (don’t let them go to flower)
