May is the perfect time to begin your garden planting and add shrubs to the landscape of your Connecticut home. Here at Elite Property and Fence, we recommend that you follow these tips to ensure your garden and shrubs have optimal growing conditions:

When you’re sure the danger of frost is gone, plant tender vegetables and annual flowers, such as tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, petunias, marigolds, zinnias and celosia. It’s also time to plant tender summer bulbs, such as callas, dahlias, caladium and gladioli.

Early May is a good time to fertilize lawns and reseed bare patches. To determine how much fertilizer and lime to apply, have your soil tested by a professional landscaper.

Add a fresh layer of mulch to your garden. You should do this as early in the month of May as possible before a lot of your plants start peaking through the ground.

Now is the time to start feeding your plants. When applying a granular fertilizer it is best to work it into the soil. Healthy well-fed plants are last to be attacked by insects and disease.
