Seems that spring will never arrive this year. We have not had a day above 55 degrees in several weeks. But that does not mean we cannot garden!
If you can bear the cool weather (and wind), now is a good time for many gardening chores. Cut back any perennials that have dead foliage. If broadleaved evergreens need cutting back (see previous posts on pruning) it’s best to do that now, before they put forth energy in new leaves.

It’s also not too late for planting. Just remember to water pants in well and top them off with a light layer of mulch. They will need supplemental water during dry periods until establishment.
