Weekend Gardener: Planting Trees

Our resident garden expert, Laura Stone of has the following tips for getting out and gardening this weekend.

“Trees and shrubs growing in containers can be planted anytime during the growing season, but planting in June gives plants a full season to become established before winter,” said Stone.
 
If you are wondering about how a tree is going to grow, Stone suggests checking out .

“That is a great place to see the best trees, shrubs and evergreens growing in beautifully designed gardens.  What a great way to get ideas on landscape design, plant combinations and become informed of the many beautiful plants available at garden centers now,” said Stone.

Also, if you’re a little behind on your garden, Stone assures us that it’s not too late to plant veggies. “If you have leggy tomatoes you can plant them extra deep and they will send out roots from the stock.”

Happy gardening!
