If you're looking for something to do while you're waiting to plant your warm weather vegetables (yes, you're still waiting on those), get the pruners out!
But what to prune, what to prune? Well, Tom Kasper has a simple rule of thumb to figure out if you're cutting the correct plant: If it blooms in summer, prune it in the spring. If it blooms in spring, prune it in the summer.
And if you've pruned already and you're looking for something a little off the beaten path, try planting cat nip. It's simple enough to plant and grow, and you'll be a favorite of all the local felines.
