One of the toughest fights gardeners have is the yearly bout to prune the roses. Today I’ll give you some training tips to make sure your Knockouts don’t knock you out. Every fighter knows you got to have the right equipment. First and foremost on the list are good gloves. No….not those gloves…..heavy leather gloves to keep the thorns from cutting you up. Second, you got to jab hard with some good bypass pruners for clean cuts, like my favorite Felco pruner. No ineffective punches, like Anvil pruners, which only crush and damage the stem and delay recovery.
If you’re an avid gardener like me, then you’ve had seedlings growing since the first of the year. Let me show you how the Southern Gardener gets my garden ready. When the seedlings are ready I like to move them to these bigger 3 ½” containers because it works well with my gardening style. I use a bin to hold moist potting mix while you fill pots. After filling, I use my index finger as a dibble to make a hole in the mix. Placing a little Osmocote into the hole gives the plants an extra nutrition boost.
With spring upon us here are some tips for the impatient gardener today on Southern Gardening.
