Prune Fruit Trees修剪果树
Late Winter or Early Spring 冬末春初时Most fruit trees, including apples, pears, cherries, and peaches, benefit from beingthinned every year. This encourages a more open habit that keeps the treeshealthy and makes it easier to harvest the produce. The best time to prune isbefore new growth develops.
Pull Back Winter Mulch除去护根层
Early Spring 早春时If you spread a layer of winter mulch to protect your plants from heaving, you'llwant to remove it when plants begin to grow and danger of extreme wintertemperatures has passed.Test Garden Tip: Keep mulch or some type of covering handy to protect your plants in thecase of an unseasonably late arctic blast.
Prune Roses修剪玫瑰Early Spring 早春时In most regi**, you'll want to prune your roses just as or before new growth emerges fromthe canes.

Start Out with Cool-Season Annuals 开始种冷季节一年生植物
Early or Midspring 春季早或中期
Annual flowers fall into two categories: varieties thatlike it warm and varieties that like it cool. Most cool-season annuals, such aspansies and violas, nemesia, diascia, calendula, poppy, snapdragon, and sweet alyssum, can take a little frost. Plant them inbeds and borders or containers and gain a few early weeks of color.Test Garden Tip: Most cool-season annuals fade when summer heat arrives; replace them withheat-loving varieties, such as petunia, pentas, nasturtium, and lantana, forcolor all summer long.
Cut Back Ornamental Grasses修剪观赏草Early Spring早春Cut back ornamental grasses to about 4 inches tall beforeor just as they put out new growth. This is also the time to divide ornamentalgrasses, if you wish to do so.Test Garden Tip: Leave spent grass leaves on top of your compost pile so birds can easilyaccess them to make nests.

Divide Overgrown Perennials给长势过旺的多年生植物分株Early or Midspring 春季早、中期
Give older perennials new life by dividing them. Dig upvarieties (such as Siberian iris, aster, coreopsis, yarrow, and many hostas) that formdense clumps and split them apart. They'll bloom better when they're not crowding each otherout -- and you end up with more plants to fill in your yard or to share withfriends and neighbors.Test Garden Tip: You don't need to worry about dividing peonies, bleeding hearts, baptisias, amsonias, orhellebores; these varieties do just fine on their own. Splitting them can setthe plants back.
Start Seeds开始播种Early Spring早春Growing plants from seed is a great way to save money.You can gain a few extra weeks if you start them early indoors, or keep itsimple by sprinkling seeds in moist, loosened soil outdoors.Test Garden Tip: If you don't use all the seeds you purchase this spring, you can storemost varieties in your freezer for planting next spring. A cool, dryplace keeps them viable longer.Grow Early Vegetables种植早季节蔬菜Early or Midspring春季早、中期While tomatoes, peppers, and squash love hot summerweather, you can plant carrots, radishes, spinach, and other cool-season varieties whilethere's still a bit of frost in the air. They'll withstand light freezeseasily, but need to be covered if the temperature drops into the low 20s.
Stop Weeds When They're Small在杂草还年幼时果断除之Early and Midspring春季早、中期Weeding is usually voted gardening's most arduous task,and as such, it's often put off. But pull, hoe, or otherwise remove weeds while they'relittle, and you'll make the job c**iderably easier. Small root systems areless work to pull, and if you get them before they go to seed, you'll havefewer weeds in the future.

Get Your Potatoes Going开始种土豆啦Early SpringEarly spring is a great time to start spuds. Youcan get them in the ground earlier than you probably think -- just wait untilhas warmed to about 45 degrees F or so. Plant most potatoes about 6 inches deepand 8-10 inches apart.Make Records of Your Garden记录你的花园Early, Mid-, and Late SpringFall is the time to plant spring-blooming bulbs. If youneed to add color to fill in holes in your spring garden or include new plants to accent onesyou already have, take pictures.

Spread Mulch铺覆盖层MidspringWhen the soil has warmed up and dried out in spring,spread a 2-inch-deep layer of mulch (such as shredded wood, pine needles, orcompost) over the soil surface to discourage weeds in your planting beds andhold moisture once hot summer days arrive.
Prune Spring-Blooming Shrubs修剪春花灌木Mid- or Late Spring春季早、中期Once your forsythia, camellias, lilacs, and mock oranges finish flowering for theseason, give them a haircut if they need it.
