Apply a liberal side dressing of 510-5 fertilizer on your asparagus bed and around your rhubard plants. Use about 4 pounds per 100 square feet and scratch it into the top 2 inches of soil. Renew the organic mulch to a depth of about 1 inch to help conserve soil moisture during the summer.

Prune evergreen shrubs before growth starts.

Boxwood should be pruned by thinning out the top half of the plant and cutting back the branches to retain desired height.

Trees and shrubs which are making weak growth should be fertilized to stimulate more attractive development. About a month before your average last frost apply approximately 1 cup of 5-10-5 to shrubs 4-8 feet tall. Use more or less with different sized plants. On trees, apply 2 pounds of 5-10-5 for each inch diameter measured at 3 feet above the ground. Apply uniformly over root zone and water in thoroughly.
