2 Retiring after 46 years! Please join us as we honor Rick Greenwell Thursday, April 28th From 3:00-6:00 at the Washington County Extension Office 211 Progress Avenue
3 A Note From Dennis Spring has sprung and I am really behind...it happens every year but when things start to grow it happens quickly! Tori and Gabby are doing very well in school with Tori having straight A s and Gabby having one B and the rest A s. I can forgive Gabby for her B it was in handwriting and she has inherited bad handwriting genes from her parents. To continue bragging Gabby was the Star Student in her grade for March and Tori won her class 4H speech contest and is now moving on to the county competition. Her speech was about our trip to pickup a beehive last spring.we drove in a van with 10,000 honeybees! My last brag, Gabby is in the 2nd grade and is reading close to a 5th grade level. Her mother is a Librarian after all. Don t forget to come to Ricks retirement celebration on April 28th and to stop buy the Master Gardener s Booth at the Springfield Green Festival on April 30th. We will have a much larger selection of plants for sell than in years past.! Happy Gardening! Lincoln Trail Beekeeper s Association News and Events Meets monthly on the first Monday of the month at 6:15 PM at the Extension Office. Washington County Master Gardener Association News And Events April 21st, 6:00 PM at the Extension Office to plant hypertufa pots. April 23rd, Green Festival Want To Become A Master Gardener?

6 April To Do s If you haven t cut your perennials back, do it before the new growth starts. Pinch off the spent flowers from spring bulbs before they make seed heads. This will cause more food storage in the bulb and increase flower size and productivity for next year. Don t cut spring flowering bulb foliage back until it turns completely yellow or brown. Plant trees and shrubs now, spring rains will help them to get established before hot dry weather sets in. Save money on fertilizer by adding organic matter to your flower and vegetable gardens. You can plant tender bulbs such as canna, calla, and dahlia later in the month. Apply slow release fertilizer at planting. gradually acclimate them to the outdoors. They will sun and wind burn easily. Give them 30 minutes to an hour the first day outdoors and gradually increase it in 30 minute to an hour increments for a week or so until they have toughened up. Uncover your roses! Keep the mulch handy in case we have an extreme late cold snap like last year. Prune out any dead, damaged or diseased tissue. Spray your lawn for broadleaf weeds. For more information stop by the Extension Office and pick up the publication AGR-78. Don t apply nitrogen fertilizer to your lawn in the spring. Sharpen mower blades and change the oil in you mower before making your first cut of the season. After flowering spray fruit trees with an all purpose fruit tree spray. Never spray while in flower you will kill the bees that you desperately need for pollination. Apply a fresh layer of mulch to your landscape beds. Plant your mail order or bare root plants as soon as possible. If you haven t cut your blackberry canes that fruited last year back do it now before the new growth begins. Depending on the Raspberries you are growing you should cut back the canes that fruited last year. If you are growing the varieties that fruit on new and old wood cut them back to the ground if you didn t do it last fall. These will grow all summer and give you a large crop in late summer and fall. If you haven t planted your spring vegetable garden due to the wet weather you still have time. You can plant potatoes, onions, cole crops, lettuce, peas, carrots, beets, etc. now. If you started seedlings indoors
7 It s that time of year, can you feel it? Spring has started and it seems to have started all at once, the birds are chirping and the sting of cold has been replaced by mild fresh air. I don t know why but spring just smells better, sounds better, and feels better this year! It must be because winter felt like it lasted ten years. We are still going to have some cold weather, frosts, and freezes but there are a lot of plants that can and should be planted now in the vegetable and flower garden. In the vegetable garden there are numerous crops that should be planted now to give you a great spring crop of fresh, delicious, and nutritious veggies. Crops such as peas, radish, potatoes, broccoli, cabbage, cauliflower, onions, spinach, kale, collards, mustard, beets, and lettuces should be planted now through April. These crops are cold hardy and actually prefer or require cool weather to thrive. There is no need to run out and cover them when frost is forecast nor is there any need to keep sprinklers running over them to keep them from freezing. These crops are at their peak when the weather is cool and it actually improves their taste and nutrition. In the flower garden there are a lot of plants that can be planted now or should be up and growing actively. Most people see the flowers such as crocus and daffodils blooming now with hyacinth and tulips coming on as well. Again, these are cold hardy as anyone that has daffodils and crocus in their garden can tell you, since they have been growing since early February! There may be the odd year where it can get freakishly cold in April like it did a few years ago when daffodils got their blooms burned off but according to meteorologist that was a once in 100 year freeze! So, spring bulbs are only guaranteed to bloom 99% of the time! You may have also noticed peonies coming up this past weekend, and again there is no need to worry. Peonies are hardy this time of year and will
