Gardening Tips
for March
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.
