Calloway's Timely Tips for January
Calloway’s Checklist for January
Colder weather is finally here but there is still plenty which can be done in your gardens. Take advantage of nice days and get a jump start on Spring!
1. Plant trees and shrubs at any time
2. Finish planting all Tulip and Hyacinth bulbs (which have been pre- chilled) and Daffodils (which do not need chilling)
3. Cold tolerant annual color, such as Pansies, Alyssum, and Dianthus can also be planted
4. Existing color in beds or containers can be fertilized using a water soluble complete fertilizer
5. Prune fruit trees and grapes
6. Prune evergreen shrubs, both evergreen and conifers
7. Do not top Crape Myrtles; the only pruning is to remove damaged branches
8. Prune summer blooming shrubs and vines
9. Mulch all flowerbeds or new plantings
10. Divide and transplant fall and summer blooming perennials, such as Garden Mums, Cannas, Coneflowers, Salvias
11. Start preparing your vegetable garden by adding compost-also beginning the planning stages of your garden
12. Have your soil tested by Calloway’s

Calloway's Timely Tips for December
Checklist for December
This month we are going to talk about a list of things that can be done during the approaching winter months.
1. It is still a good time to plant trees and shrubs.
2. Plant any cool weather color, such as Pansies, Snapdragons, Flowering Cabbage and Kale.
3. Fertilize cool season grasses, such as Fescue. Water thoroughly afterwards.
4. Prune summer flowering shrubs and vines now. They will bloom on new growth. Remember-do not top your Crape Myrtles! Simply prune to remove seed heads and shape.
5. Buy frost cloth to have on hand to protect cold tender plants.
6. Mulch well to help protect roots and eliminate winter weeds.
7. Don’t forget to water your landscape during the winter months!
This is also a great time to start planning changes or additions to your landscape. Bring a sketch or photo and let our Texas Certified Nursery Professionals assist you!
