PLEASANTVIEW, Kan. — Spring is not too far off, but now is the time to get your garden ready for the summer growing season. Jason French with Stutzman’s Greenhouse says it's time to get your garden ready.
“Vegetable garden-wise, you’re getting the soil prepared and things like that,” French said. “Some of those cooler seeds we could start seeding. Spinach lettuce, radishes, peas and things along that line.”
French says, as far as your lawn goes, it’s time to treat your lawn for weeds.
“This is the perfect time to do it. If you have a fescue lawn, which will green up early and stay green later, you can put the lawn prevention on with the fertilizer,” French said. “If you were to have Bermuda grass or some of the warm season grasses, you can put on that same pre-emergent but without the fertilizer.”
French says that you should be able to plant most of your garden by the end of the month.
