5-Minute Garden Chores You Can Do in March:

Pruning

A lot of pruning doesn't actually have to take that long. Especially when it comes to smaller plants. Of course, you can also just do one at a time. The following types are easy to prune right now.

• Annabelle hydrangea

• Panicle hydrangea

• Roses

• Ornamental Grass

• Butterfly Bush

Topping

In addition to actual pruning, there are also several types of plants that are ideal for topping right now. This helps you create bushy (well-branched) plants with good flowering.

• Prune Garden Geraniums (Pelargoniums)

• Cut off the spent flowers from farmer's hydrangeas

• You should also cut back the spent flowers on flower bulbs (it's best to leave the foliage in place)

Other Small Garden Chores

• Sweep the patio and/or the paths

• Make labels for plants you've just propagated, or that you'll be sowing soon

• Take pictures of everything that's already blooming and growing again

• Enjoy a nice cup of coffee or tea in your garden (do you also often forget to just take a moment to relax in the garden?)
