Believe it or not, spring is around the corner. Here in NorCal, it is still wet with periods of cold, so one does have to be careful with working soil and protecting from potentially freezes. LOTS of prep to do for the upcoming season.

It is time to plant:

· Broccoli

· Cabbage

· Carrots

· Cauliflower

· Collards, swiss chard

· Kale

· Leeks

· Loose leaf lettuce

· Peas

· Potatoes….late in the month

Chores include:

· Sow tomatoes inside

· Start flowers (sunflowers, strawflower, zinnias, etc)

· Direct sow sweet peas

· Plant bare-root (roses, fruit trees, asparagus, strawberries, rhubarb, berries)

· Spray fruit trees

· Fertilize

· Compost

· Clean up, cut back

· Prune roses, fruit trees
