New Year Announcement

January 11, 2012

Well Happy New Year! We here at Gordon’s Landscapes LLC are excited for this year. Some of our long term goals have just become short term goals, and we have started some new ideas to benefit our loyal customers. January is an excellent time to take a soil sample to find out what your plants need for the new year. Gather about 1 pint of soil in a zip lock bag and take to the County Extension Office. They will send you the results in 2-3 weeks. There is a small charge for this service.

Kill winter and early spring weeds in your bermuda lawn now. Bermuda will be dormant so the spray will not hurt it now. For best results the temperature should be above 60 degrees for 3 consecutive days. See us for details.

•Fertilize pansies

•Mow cool-season grasses

•Prune trees and shrubs

•Apply dormant oil spray to fruit trees

•Till garden beds (this brings the insects to the surface and the cold weather will kill them)

•Recycle Christmas trees (for the birds)

•Feed winter birds

•Water plants as needed

•Buy an Amaryllis for Valentine’s Day

•Check mulch on landscape plants

•Mulch around strawberries

•Once again, make sure leaves haven’t blown in and covered up any cool season grasses.
