Last Frost: The last frost was on 4/ which has been the average for the last 9 years. We should be safe at this point.
Gardening: It’s a good time to prune all spring blooming plants that have spent blooms. It is also a good time to fertilize those plants. You can still prune fall blooming plants such as abelia. Let plants like aster and mums flush out and then cut them back by about half around June and then again by July 1. That will leave them with more blooms in the fall. Don’t cut them back after early July. You can still transplant things and plan
