How To Care For Your Plants As They begin To Grow

FERTILIZER: Fertilize in March and September all flowering trees & shrubs with a granular “all purpose” no need to use a Specified specific fertilizer. Read back of bag or box for recommended amount to use for each size tree or shrub. Heathers only need to be feed lightly. Make sure to not get the fertilizer next to the trunk or stems place fertilizer out at the drip line. (drip line is referred to as where the rain or water will drip off of leaves or branches)

PRUNING Prune your flowering shrubs as soon as they have finished blooming (before they set buds for the up and coming season) Shrubs will typically set buts a few months after blooming. Hebes can be trimmed as soon as finished blooming and then they may rebloom later in the season. Trim Heathers as soon as they finish blooming (winter bloomers approx. March Summer & late summer trim in Oct.) Non blooming shrubs & trees can be trimmed in the spring or fall. Fruit trees trim in the late winter (Jan. & Feb.) Cut spent blooms off of perennials to encourage continued blooming. Hydrangeas-some not all bloom on old wood so be careful to not trim of next years flowers.

WATERING If you have a drip or spray system installed, Honeyman will set it for you at time of installation and give you instructions on how reprogram and turn off in the winter and to start up in the spring. If you are hand watering you will need to water at least 3 times a week May thru Oct. In the dead of summer with our north winds you may need to water more often. Small shrubs need at least 3gals every time you water medium shrubs 5gals each time and trees & large shrubs need 10gals each time. Make sure the water soaks in and doesn’t run off, once sand dries out it is very difficult to get it to absorb water again.

Evergreens will drop some needles in the fall & winter. If a plant is going to die due to transplanting it will normally happen in the first 3 months. Don’t expect a lot of new growth the 1st year. Plants sleep, creep & then leap.

Getting ready for winter


We are not sure what this winter will bring, but here are a few things that we do around the nursery and our own yards to prepare for the winter or to get ready for next spring.


• Plant spring flowering bulbs


• Plant cover crop in garden areas (crimson clover, fava bean & vetch)


• Cut back perennials


• Rake up leaves & use for compost (unless diseased)


• Trim summer blooming heathers


• Mulch beds


• Turn off irrigation systems


• Wrap outdoor pipes


• Keep fresh water & feed for the birds


• Apply zinc or some type of moss killer to roofs, decks & patios


• Apply lime to lawns & garden


• Have remay on hand in case it freezes. Remay is a light weight cloth that protects plants from the cold & wind (we stock it)


• Clean out storage shed (bring us your empty pots make sure all loose soil is removed and we will take them to the recyclers for you)


• Bait for slugs (hiding under wood, cardboard & pots


• Get those magazines out that have been sitting on the shelves thru the summer and do some reading or dreaming


• Note to self remember to buy wood pellets


• I’m sure there are things that I have missed, and I will remember later.


• Store tender plants that you want to overwinter (garage or cover area)


• Store outside furniture
