House Cleaning Tips
Drain & Garbage Disposal: Want to shine up your drain and garbage disposal. . or even your stainless steel sink? First wet down the area and sprinkle evenly with Baking Soda. Let it set for a few minutes and scrub with an old toothbrush or sponge. Rinse down with water and it’s clean and shiny! Take the next step and drop a few small sections of citrus (lemon, lime or grapefruit) down the garbage disposal and run it to give a fresh clean smell. |
Gardening Tips
Water: Water citrus deeply every three weeks. Adjust watering schedule to accommodate spring winds.
Fertilize: Fertilize citrus, roses, grapes, lawns, and deciduous (trees or shrubs that lose their leaves seasonally) trees/plants. Citrus needs fertilizer specially formulated with an ample source of nitrogen. Roses need slow release fertilizer specially formulated with nitrogen and phosphorous. Fertilize the non-native plants just as they begin to grow. Yes, mid-February/March is our spring time! Prune: Once new shoots emerge on frost damaged plants (lantana & bougainvillea) cut away dead branches. Also cut back ornamental grasses. Wait until April to cut back frost damaged citrus. Harvest: Continue to harvest your citrus. Most citrus should be picked by the beginning of March except valencia oranges and grapefruit as they continue to sweeten for several months. |
