It may be the perfect time to get outside
and get your flower beds and landscaping into tip-top
shape.

Planting tomato starts may be on your list, but
Ciscoe
says it’s just too early for those and the petunias.

He recommends spending your time adding every type of
perennial, tree, and shrub to your yard. In fact, buy up
that Japanese Maple you’ve been pining for.

“Stick that baby in the ground and Mama Nature will
water it.”

They’re one of Ciscoe’s favorite trees because they
produce
beautiful color all season long.

Every week, Tom Tangney, 97.3 KIRO FM’s movie critic,
researches a plant assigned by Ciscoe. This week’s plant
was Musa Basjoo. Check out Tom’s
research here.

Gardening with Ciscoe can be heard on 97.3 KIRO FM
