Plant basil and oregano for a pizza garden, cilantro for salsa, and more.

Shape and control hedges as they begin their spring growth spurt. Maintain a narrower top to prevent shading the lower parts.

Prune spring-flowering shrubs and trees to preserve their size and shape once they've finished blooming. Keep deadheading rhododendrons with faded blooms.

Nourish your landscape shrubs and trees with G&B Organics All Purpose Fertilizer.

Feed roses as they enter their growth phase with G&B Organics Rose & Flower Fertilizer. Water thoroughly after application.

Stake or cage tomatoes before they grow too large.
