Spring is in full swing, and there’s plenty to do in the garden! As we navigate changing temperatures and seasonal rain, it’s the perfect time to get ahead on essential tasks like preventing powdery mildew on grapevines, staying on top of weeds, and feeding citrus, roses, and camellias. While nurseries are starting to stock tomatoes, peppers, and eggplants, patience is key—wait until soil temperatures reach around 65°F before planting warm-weather crops. Happy gardening! 

What can I plant?

In the vegetable garden: Transplant lettuce and cole family plants, such as cauliflower, broccoli, collards and kale.
In the flower garden: Plant summer bulbs, including gladiolus, tuberous begonias and callas. Also plant dahlia tubers.
