Prepare for spring gardening
The first day of spring may be too early to plant. But when you see the tips of flowers coming up, you can do this:
* Uncover roses and remove protective mulch from around perennials, strawberries, and other plants.
* Clean up flower beds and gardens.
* Prune grapevines and remove damaged canes from raspberry plants.
* Clean out birdhouses so they're ready when the birds come back.
* Pick up sticks from the yard so you're ready to mow in April.
* Plan early spring vegetables (peas, radishes, lettuce and spinach) by St. Patrick's Day, according to Irish legend. If there's snow on the ground, wait.
* Start tomato plants inside now.
*Buy vegetable and flower seeds.
