I’m not much of a gardener. If anything, if I’m in charge, it will most likely die. You may think that I’m exaggerating, but I will tell you that I killed mint… you know, the weed/herb?
No matter, I do still try and I follow OSU Extension Service.
Therefore, here are some reminders:
Planning
Tune up your equipment, such as your lawn mower and gardening tools
Test your soil
Plant an herb bed
Maintenance and Clean Up
Repair winter damage
Incorporate cover crops
Make a cold or hot bed to start early veggies or flowers
Prune trees
Planting
Plant windowsill container
Plant fruit trees
Pest Monitoring
Monitor for problems
Use delayed dormant sprays
Control moles and gophers with traps (or hire somebody)
Houseplants
Work with your local gardening shop, nurseries, or check out OSU’s Extension Service program for videos, training, and information.
