March is a great time to have the soil of your lawn tested. Your lawn will also need a spring feeding. See your local Agway dealer for spreaders and fertilizers. If you need a moss killer, it can be applied at the same time as the fertilizer, just let your dealer know.

Preparing your vegetable garden now for the seeds and seedlings ahead will save you a lot of work when it comes time to plant. Peat moss, compost, and processed manure are all great sources of organic matter to add to the soil as you turn it over or till.

Perennial vegetables such as Rhubarb, Artichokes and Asparagus can be planted now where they won't be disturbed by the annuals coming later. You can also plant Peas, Sweet Peas and Onion sets now.

If you haven't already, start seeds now for strong seedlings after the last frost date. Agway has everything you need.

Make sure you keep up with emerging weeds in your beds before they have a chance to go to seed. Some weeds produce thousands of seeds per plant and can really become a problem if not removed early in the season. Most weeds can be removed easily by cultivation or pulling by hand. Use a herbicide on the tougher ones.

March is a great time to plant fruit trees, berries and roses. You should also prune the roses you already have.

Late in the month when soil becomes workable, cold tolerant vegetables can be planted. These include Spinach, Brussels Sprouts, Cauliflower, Radishes, Peas, Broccoli, Lettuce and Potatoes. They should be set out about 2 weeks before the date of the last frost.

Complete any maintenance that may be necessary on lawnmowers and other pieces of power equipment. Sharpen and oil the blades on your hand tools.

Complete tree pruning before new growth begins.
