Home (indoor plants): Place houseplants close together and run a humidifier to increase nearby humidity.
Yard (lawns, fruits and woody ornamentals): Examine trees for rodent damage. Protect plants from road and sidewalk salt. Order new plants now for the best selection.
Garden (flowers, vegetables and small fruits): Determine what you want to grow and choose your seeds. Sketch your garden plan.

Home (indoor plants): Avoid overwatering plants since they usually require less water in the winter. Place near sunlight but away from drafty, cold windowpanes.
Yard (lawns, fruits and woody ornamentals): Force early spring plants into bloom while indoors. Check all winter plant protections to ensure they are still in place. Prune landscape plants aside from early spring bloomers.
Garden (flowers, vegetables and small fruits): Sketch your garden layout and prepare tools for the upcoming season. Prepare seed starters indoors for transplanting. Test germination using leftover seeds.

Home (indoor plants): Fertilize houseplants and remove withered leaves and flowers to promote new blooms.
Yard (lawns, fruits and woody ornamentals): Prune trees and shrubs that do not bloom in early spring. Plant new shrubs and trees. Remove protective coverings from roses once new growth occurs.
Garden (flowers, vegetables and small fruits): Plant cool-season flowers and vegetables once the ground has dried. Begin seeds of warm-season flowers and vegetables indoors and wait until late March or early April before transplanting the seedlings.

Home (indoor plants): Prepare seed starters of warm-season plants, including petunias, marigolds, tomatoes, and eggplants, indoors. Add fertilizer to houseplants according to instructions. Harden off transplants before planting outside.
Yard (lawns, fruits and woody ornamentals): Complete pruning and remove injured and dead branches. Protect plants from late spring freezes but remove winter coverings on roses. Apply pre-emergent herbicide to mitigate crabgrass growth.
Garden (flowers, vegetables and small fruits): Plant cool-season crop seeds, including carrots, peas, lettuce and turnips, right in the garden. Allow foliage on spring-flowering bulbs to remain after blooms fade. Plant perennials, including daylilies, and repair support trellises if necessary.

Home (indoor plants): After frost risk has passed, move indoor plants to shady locations outside and maintain proper moisture levels in the soil.
Yard (lawns, fruits and woody ornamentals): Prune early spring trees and shrubs once flowering blooms have faded. Remove bagworms from trees and apply fungicides to roses.
Garden (flowers, vegetables and small fruits): Warm-season flowers and vegetables are frost-tender, so hold off on planting until frost danger has passed.

Home (indoor plants): Increase watering and fertilizing of indoor plants. Cut flowers for added beauty indoors.
Yard (lawns, fruits and woody ornamentals): Prune spring-flowering shrubs once blooms have faded. Water freshly planted shrubs and trees. Mow grass regularly but keep length high.
Garden (flowers, vegetables and small fruits): Add mulch to prevent weeds and control them while they are still sprouting. Remove cool-season plants, which become bitter in the heat.

Home (indoor plants): Make sure outdoor plants stay hydrated since they can dry out quickly in the heat. Propagate houseplants.
Yard (lawns, fruits and woody ornamentals): Add mulch near young plants to conserve moisture. Avoid planting bare-root stock. Avoid hurting tree trunks when lawnmowing.
Garden (flowers, vegetables and small fruits): Fertilize strawberries and harvest raspberries when they are fully colored. Remove dying blossoms from perennial and annual flowers. Lift spring-flowering bulbs for propagation or transplanting.

Home (indoor plants): Now’s the time to order spring-flowering bulbs to plant in the fall. Reroot cutting from annual garden plants in potting soil, peat and other media instead of water.
Yard (lawns, fruits and woody ornamentals): Hard prune and remove bagworms. Avoid fertilizing woody plants.
Garden (flowers, vegetables and small fruits): Direct-seed fall vegetables and thin seedlings to their necessary spacing. Keep the soil of the garden watered during dry periods.

Home (indoor plants): Prepare storage to keep tender flower bulbs safe over winter. Repot herbs to grow indoors. Bring houseplants back indoors if necessary.
Yard (lawns, fruits and woody ornamentals): Harvest fall fruits, including apples, grapes, and pears. Clean up fallen leaves, twigs, and fruits near trees.
Garden (flowers, vegetables and small fruits): Protect crops from frost using newspaper, blankets, and other materials that aren’t plastic. Plant spring-flowering bulbs later in the month.

Home (indoor plants): Force spring-flowering bulbs to bloom by potting indoors. Houseplants will drop leaves due to decreased natural light indoors. Water less frequently and stop fertilization.
Yard (lawns, fruits and woody ornamentals): Rake leaves to prevent them from matting grass. Keep newly planted stock watered until ground freezes.
Garden (flowers, vegetables and small fruits): Harvest gourds, root crops, pumpkins, and brussel sprouts. Test soil for fertilizer as needed and finish planting spring-flowering bulbs.

Home (indoor plants): Move plants under natural or artificial light if they drop many leaves. Apply less fertilizer and water. Pot spring-flowering bulbs indoors and keep tips exposed.
Yard (lawns, fruits and woody ornamentals): Remove dead branches. Add repellant and mulch to deter feeding damage from rodents. Clean up fallen fruits and leaves.
Garden (flowers, vegetables and small fruits): Continue harvesting if frost hasn’t affected your garden. Till soil to promote faster drying and warming in the spring, except in areas prone to erosion.

Home (indoor plants): Examine houseplants for dry edges and run a humidifier if necessary. Avoid placing plants against cold windowpanes. Check Christmas trees for a sticky trunk and flexible, green needles before purchasing.
Yard (lawns, fruits and woody ornamentals): Protect shrubs from snow by tying stems together. Wrap trunks of thin-barked trees.
Garden (flowers, vegetables and small fruits): Protect newly planted bulbs and perennials with organic material after the plants fall dormant. Check stored produce for decay.
