• It’s warm enough now to plant warm season grass seeds such as Bermuda.
• Thin fruit on peaches, apricots, and plums to five to six inches apart on the branches. This will result in large and better quality fruit.
• Allow foliage of spring flowering bulbs to mature and yellow before removing.
• Check euonymus and zinnias for powdery mildew. Treat with a registered fungicide.
