• March Garden Tasks: Prune Trees and Shrubs
• How to Make a Wonderful Winter Salad

As March arrives in the South Sound, gardeners welcome the gentle transition from winter’s chill to spring’s promise.

With longer days and warmer air, it’s an ideal moment to refresh your garden with purposeful care.

Prune trees and shrubs before new growth begins, removing dead wood and shaping for beauty and health.

Test and amend your soil to support robust spring plantings—rich soil is the root of every thriving garden.

Start flower and vegetable seeds indoors if they need a longer season, giving them the best possible start.

Take advantage of early spring by planting hardy crops like lettuce, kale, and peas, ensuring a fresh harvest soon.

Divide perennials now to invigorate their growth and spread their beauty throughout your yard.

Keep weeds in check and add mulch for moisture retention and root protection.

Inspect, clean, and sharpen tools before busy days begin.

Careful planning and early attention will ensure your garden flourishes all season long.
