Mid-Atlantic Gardening

monthly gardening guide

19 years ago

Can anyone point me in the direction of an online monthly gardening guide for the mid-atlantic region? I need to know what to do when and can't find anything...

Or...what should I be doing right now? I've a big garden, the bulbs are just starting to pop, but in terms of caring for the shrubs and vines and perrenials, any tips? Anything in particular to prune right now? When should I begin planting annuals? So many questions...

Thanks for any help!

There is a pruning guide and monthly calendar on the VA Tech extension page. Since VA has z5-8, it's rather broad, and timing must be adjusted.

Are you aware of the weekly "to do now" gardening column in the Friday Philadelphia Inquirer? It's in the Home and Design section.
