January | February | March | April | May | June | July | August | September | October | November | December It's time to set out transplants of cool season vegetables such as cabbage, cauliflower and broccoli. Sow lettuce, greens and radishes directly into the soil. Dig, divide and replant Fall-blooming perennials such as aster and helianthus. Don't be afraid to cut back liriope with a lawn mower or string trimmer. You'll welcome the healthy new growth that quickly arises. Carefully lift mulch and leaves off Winter annuals, allowing soils to warm and new growth to get started. Be prepared to cover plants again if extreme cold temperatures are expected. Fertilize trees, shrubs and permanent ground covers with a balanced, slow-release fertilizer. Apply a balanced fertilizer like a 10-10-10 blend to lawns now. Use a slow-release blend to avoid a quick burst of tender growth.
