Cold, rainy weather. Tender plants need frost protection. Good buys are bare- root fruit, flowering and shade trees, grape and berry vines, strawberries and roses. Set out transplants of pansies, English daisies, primroses, snapdragons and stock. Sow sweet peas.
Plant gladioluses every three weeks for continuous bloom.
Put in broccoli, cauliflower, cabbage and lettuce for April harvest. Plant asparagus, artichokes, seed potatoes, onion and garlic sets and Jerusalem artichokes. Prune fruit trees, berries and grapes. Prune roses mid-month. Apply dormant spray to deciduous trees and shrubs.
