Gardening : Weekend List for Diggers and Planters

For dedicated gardeners, here are suggestions from the California Assn. of Nurserymen:

Teach your children the fun of gardening by planting a variety of seeds that include radishes; they give quick results to keep the kids interested while the others grow.

Continue to water bulbs as long as the foliage is green.

Feed hibiscus monthly from now until September.

Time to plant carrots, corn, peppers and squash.

Mulch around shrubs, trees, annuals and even container plants to help conserve moisture and discourage weeds.

It is safe to plant citrus now that cold weather is over. Consider dwarf citrus in large containers for a decorative touch and full-sized fruit.
