I hope this message finds you healthy and doing well in these crazy times. Here are some thoughts when you're stuck at home. I couldn't think of a better time to get outside and do a little gardening.

First off, rake the leaves off of the lawn, perennial beds. In areas that have bulbs in them use a gentle blower or rake them very carefully to not damage the flowers or leaves.
Once that's done apply a slow release fertilizer to the beds.but wait until April 15th to fertilize lawns.
Fruit trees and grapes should be pruned now. Also prune later flowering shrubs such as PG hydrangeas , Vitex , Crepe Myrtles, Caryopteris , Hypericum, . Do not prune spring flowering shrubs now as you will be removing their flower buds. Also do NOT prune Nikko Blue, Endless Summer or any of the mop head Hydrangeas, as they will fail to flower if pruned too heavily.
This is the best time to prune broken branches in trees and shrubs as you can see the damage best before they leaf out.
This is an ideal time to plant trees and shrubs as the spring rain will almost always take care of any watering needs till summer.
