On the Home and Garden Show with Vance Co. Cooperative Ext.
- There will be a Spring Vegetable Garden Event on April 7th from 6-7pm at the Vance County Regional Farmers Market.
- Soil samples go back to no charge starting today.
- Make sure your garden location receives at least 8 hours of sunlight.
- Resist the temptation to sow tall fescue now. Annual ryegrass can be used as a temporary patch on bare areas.
- If you added lime last fall you might want to take another soil sample to see if the lime has changed the soil pH.
- Ground bees are starting to arrive in lawns. These bees are harmless, they are good pollinators, please do not kill them.
- Remember to use Personal Protective Equipment when mowing your lawns. NO extra riders on mowers. One seat means one rider.
- If you have seedlings growing indoors, provide adequate lighting. Check soil each day and if it’s moist, don’t water your plants today.
- Train your young fruit trees by attaching weights to branches and encourage outward growth.
- It’s now ok to plant trees and shrubs but don’t forget to water them.
- Get your vegetable publications from Cooperative Extension.
- Check houseplants dust weekly with a soft cloth.
- Check storage areas for mice.
