설명

The timing of tasks to be done in the landscape and garden depends on the types of plants grown, their uses and seasonal changes. Turfgrass, the most common denominator in the landscape, is grown for outdoor play and recreation, while the various trees and shrubs add shade, privacy and aesthetic value. Fresh fruits and vegetables grown in the garden add to a healthy diet, and annuals and perennials help bring color and cheer to any landscape. Spending time in the landscape and garden can be a most rewarding outdoor activity. In turn, it can also be frustrating when plants do not perform as expected.

There are various factors that affect how these landscape and garden plants grow. In the Intermountain West region, a high mountain desert, weather patterns influence not only plants and their development, but also insect pests and diseases. The following information is a calendar-based approach to help home gardeners with proper timing of yard and garden-related tasks and activities that promote healthy plants and to assist the home gardener in finding more success than frustration. After all, gardening is to be enjoyed. Visit GardenersAlmanac.usu.edu for more information.
