MARCH GARDENING TIPS
VEGETABLES
• Plant vegetables such as tomatoes, sweet corn and snap beans and
pepper, as well as cucumbers, lima or butter beans, cantaloupe, okra
(if the soil has warmed sufficiently - 70 degrees F. or higher), southern
peas, pumpkin, squash, peanuts and watermelon.
LAWN
• Re-sod or replant as needed with turfgrasses adapted to this part of
Texas and suited to the planting location (shade or sun).
• When resodding semi-shaded areas with St. Augustine, use ONLY the
variety Floratam for best pest resistance.
See www.plantanswers.com/grass.htm.
TREES AND SHRUBS
• Plant container-grown trees and shrubs as soon as possible. In shady
areas, where grass is difficult to grow, consider planting a dependable
groundcover such as English ivy, Asian jasmine, vinca or one of the
prostrate junipers.
• Prune spring flowering and evergreen shrubs during early March.
However, be sure to prune spring flowering shrubs after they have
bloomed.
• Fertilize with a pre-plant application of a slow-release fertilizer
analysis such as 19 - 5 - 9 at the rate of 3 pounds per 100 square feet of
garden planting area. Early March is the ideal time to fertilize landscape
plants because you give them food just before the spring growing
season starts.
