Monthly Garden Checklist

Don't forget to be Water Wise! Check out our suggestions for conserving water in your garden. Pull weeds brought on by recent rains now before they go to seed. This is a good time to plant dormant fruit trees and roses. Top dress tender plants with a mulch mix. Keep the garden clean.
