MASTERGARDENERS
By R. JEANNE REHWALDT,
PROGRAM COORDINATOR
My forsythia plant is finally be-
ginning to put out yellow blooms,
and my bulbs are peaking their
heads up through the ground. Spring
is approaching and it is time to get
out into our gardens (between rain
storms) and get the beds ready for
early planting. You can plant peas,
lettuce, cabbage, onions and kale
anytime now if weather permits for
a delicious harvest in a few months.
Sow at two-week intervals to harvest
throughout the season rather than
all at once.
Question: My houseplants seem to
be growing too large for their pots.
When is a good time to repot them?
Answer: Now is an excellent time
to repot, groom, and feed your house-
plants. Be sure to provide drainage
in the bottom of the pot and provide
sufficient humidity for the plants
to thrive. You can do this by filling
a saucer with pebbles, placing your
plant pot on the pebbles and then
pouring water into the saucer each
time you water your plants.
Question: I received a shamrock
plant as a prize at a St. Patrick's Day
party. How do I keep it alive?
Answer: Shamrocks like cool air,
moist soil (except in their dormant
period), and bright light. They do not
have an extensive root system, so
unlike many plants, actually prefer
to be crowded in a pot. However, if
the plant dries out too quickly, you
may need to move it into a larger pot.
Fertilize every three weeks while the
plant is actively growing or flower-
ing using regular houseplant fertil-
izer. When the plant only produces
a few leaves, it indicates it is going
dormant.
Be aware that no matter how
much care you give this plant, at
times it will look sick and lose its
leaves. This dormant period, which
occurs two to three times a year, is
part of the growing process common
to all plants grown from bulbs. Dur-
ing dormancy, stop watering. Let
the leaves die back naturally, then
remove dead, brown leaves. Place
the plant in a cool, dark place • while
it goes through its dormancy period,
don't allow the plant to get too dry,
but not over moist either. Plants
generally remain dormant for about
three months. New green shoots
signal that the plant is waking up
and needs to be moved back into the
light. (Thank you to Donald D. Tap-
io, Extension Horticulture Agent,
Grays Harbor County, for this infor-
mation.) The Mason County WSU
Master Gardeners would like to take
this opportunity to thank the mem-
bers of Kristmastown Kiwanis for
moving our shed from the old fair-
grounds site to our new garden at
Catalyst Park. You accomplished
in a few hours something that we
thought would never happen. We
will now be able to store tools to use
in the garden. This will relieve the
volunteers from hauling wheelbar-
rows and shovels from home. Thank
you so much.

ub Sco ts
On April 9, 2011, The Sons of the American Legion will be

directly to support local Boy and Cub Scout activities, with
a special emphasis on the policy that no boys are left out.
We are currently soliciting donations for goods or services
that may be auctioned that evening. If you are interested in
donating, one of our youth members would be happy to come
by and pick up the item, or you may call one of our represen-
tatives to set up further arrangements.
