April 22 April 22Now is the time to prune all shrubs that flower on new wood. These include potentilla, dogwood, rose, some hydrangea, some clematis, and spirea. Many of these, such as potentilla and spirea can be cut right back to a height of 6 inches. For advice on pruning roses go to www.canadianrosesociety.org For pruning hydrangea check out www.hydrangeashydrangeas.com
This is a good time to renovate lawns. Top dress with a thin layer of compost then overseed with a high quality seed mixture. Any time in the next month would be suitable.
The most important garden task is to add a few inches of compost to all planting beds. Don't worry about digging it in - the earthworms will take care of it.
