WaPo's Garden Calendar

Live in the greater DC area? Ever wonder what tasks you should be doing each month to keep your garden and yard lookin' good?

Enter the Washington Post's Gardening Calendar.

For August, the tasks at hand are:

• Order spring bulbs
  I've looked longingly at the bulbs available at Dutch Gardens. Especially the double daffodils...
  
• Conduct lawn soil test
  This is a "husband task" as the lawn is his baby.
• Cut back perennials/freshen garden
  Hmph. Maybe I'll do that next weekend. Most of my perennials are still looking OK. Plus, by then, I think I'll be able to remove some spent tomato plants.
• Pull up clumps of crabgrass
  Done! Kinda. The husband started to do this, but then got stung by a bee. Sooo...

The calendar has tasks for every month so check back often. Also handy? They tell you what is flowering.
