Flowers
- Begin watching roses for black spot fungus disease (small black spots on the leaves that quickly worsen). Control it by spraying every seven to ten days with a fungicide.
- Annuals to plant include celosia, coleus, dusty miller, gaillardia, geranium, hollyhock, impatiens, marigold, nicotiana, ornamental pepper, penta, phlox, portulaca, rudbeckia, salvia, sweet William, torenia, verbena, vinca and zinnia.
Trees and Shrubs
- Fertilize shrub beds, if necessary. A landscape/garden type fertilizer that is low in phosphorus (the middle number) can be used on most species of shrubs. Keep lawn “weed and feed” type products out of shrub and flowerbeds. Some contain chemicals that are dangerous to woody and herbaceous ornamentals.
- The “acid loving” shrubs such as azaleas, camellias and gardenias should be fertilized with an “azalea-camellia special.” The nitrogen source in these fertilizers is safer on these ornamentals.
- Evergreen and semi-evergreen trees such as live oak and laurel oak shed most of their leaves during March and early April. Make plans to recycle these leaves on your property by composting or using them as mulch in vegetable, flower and shrub beds.
Vegetable Garden
- Vegetables that can be planted outdoors include bush beans, pole beans, cantaloupe, sweet corn, cucumbers, eggplant, lima beans, okra, southern peas, peppers, pumpkin, summer squash, tomatoes, and watermelon.
- Plan and plant an herb garden. They can be grown under the same conditions and cultural practices that are used for vegetables.
- Sweet potato plants (slips, draws) can be set out from now through June.

RUNNING / WALKING IN PARADISE
|
|
|
|
Homeowners living in Gulf Breeze proper enjoy a utopia of walking and running options. First, it’s Florida without the massive development and rabid development seen on the East Coast and in Central Florida. Secondly the climate is more temperate than other areas of the state. With the exception of a few muggy late July and early August weeks, it’s a totally enjoyable experience with cool Springs and Autumns and mild Winters.
So…strap on those Nikes and walk the Fairpoint Dr. and Shoreline Dr. “Loop”. Three miles of great and safe sidewalk under overhanging trees, through upscale neighborhoods with friendly neighbors create the ideal hour of walking. From the overhanging Persimmon trees near West of US-98 on Fairpoint Dr. to the “Hills of the North Shore” a walker can enjoy regular trips and never tire of the sunrises, sunsets, and low puffy white Summer clouds.
There are a couple great running events on the calendar for this month. Check it out for more details.
