Mr. G's "Tip of the Month!"	Grangetto's Gardening Tips for February
	Fertilize azaleas, camellias and gardenias with slow-release Lilly Miller Rhododendron, Evergreen & Azalea Food 10-5-4, which contains Cottonseed Meal for these acid lovers, or Dr. Earth Rhododendron, Azalea & Camellia 4-5-4 Fertilizer.
	Fertilize citrus, avocado, berries and grapes with Best Triple 15 or Dr. Earth Organic Fruit Tree Fertilizer plus Citrus & Avocado. Shrubs, ground covers, and trees need feeding as well.
	Use Gardner & Bloome Planting Mix for planting all bare root fruit trees, shrubs, roses & landscape plants.
	Feed lawns with Best Nitra King 21-4-4 for green, healthy grass and follow up with Green Light Crabgrass Preventer 2 for control of broadleaf weeds. It stops weed seed from sprouting.
	In flower beds, use the Flexrake Hula-Ho to first clean up weeds, followed by applications of Granular Green Light Amaze or Liquid Monterey Weed Impede. Preventing weeds saves many hours of labor spent in removing them later.
	Control winter weeds with Roundup Pro or Roundup Quick Pro. Winter rains will encourage rapid, nuisance weed growth. Both are rain-fast in one hour.
	Finish pruning of deciduous fruit trees and roses. Remove crossing branches and dead wood. Clean up all leaf litter, which can harbor insects and disease. Replace old worn tools with Felco Pruners.
	Use Macabee Traps or The Original Blackhole Trap to rid your garden of gophers. These pests cause much damage, eating roots from lawns, shrubs and ground covers.
