• Feed citrus during bloom and fruit set.
  • Check for yellowing between leaf veins and azaleas and camellias and apply chelated (soluble) iron if needed.
  • Check irrigation systems. Fix blocks and leaks in drip systems.
  • Clean out fountains, pond bottoms, stream beds, pumps and filters.
  • Feed bulb plants after flowers fade. Do not cut back leaves until they are brown. These leaves make the food stored in the bulb for next year.
  • Hand pick snails and slugs. Trap earwigs and snails with rolled newspaper, unrinsed tuna cans, or pans of beer.
  • Fertilize any trees and shrubs not treated in March with slow-release fertilizer.
