It's mid-October and the Dirt Doctor gardening site is located in Zone 8 where we typically see the first frost anytime after the end of October, but sometimes we're surprised with an early frost, or a growing season that extends into mid-November.

Dirt Doctor readers and listeners are all over the US, so knowing your particular first and last freeze dates is helpful for your garden planning. This topic offers a general list and maps to visit to look into the weather conditions in your neighborhood.

More about orange oil: the product contains the raw oil collected from the citrus peel during the juicing extraction. No heat is applied during this "cold pressed" process thereby preserving the integrity of the oil. Orange oil is an important ingredient in a variety of household and gardening applications. Orange oil degrades the waxy coating on the exoskeleton of insects, causing dehydration and asphyxiation. It's also an excellent cleaning product, but pure orange oil that is strong enough to kill insects needs to be diluted to use in the home.

A home remedy for reducing the number of mosquitoes on your property is to set up buckets as traps. Fill the buckets with water then throw in a bunch of plant material such as leaves, grass clippings, spent flowers, whatever, because you want the water to get all cruddy (stagnant). This will cause it to attract female mosquitoes to lay their eggs. Attracted to the water, they lay eggs but the nymphs won't survive to become adults, because you will have added a mosquito dunk or the Bti granules to the water.

Bti is Bacillus thuringiensis 'Israelensis' and it's sold as mosquito dunks and mosquito bits. The Summit brand will probably be the easiest to find. Buckets tucked away in gardens, near the house, can help reduce the number that are around your most traveled areas and in the house. Use Mosquito dunks or granules in other water as well, such as the trays beneath pots, bird baths, fountains, and such.

Easter is a week and a half away; some gardeners wait to plant then, considering it a safe date to begin garden transplants. The date of the last spring freeze varies widely from year to year, but there are averages to work with.

The NOAA maps have been changing, and while the old one is a color-coded map where you can look for your part of the country, the new ARC-GIS map is a sea of bubbles to zoom in on and find weather stations in your area. The average last freeze at Fort Worth Meacham airport is March 11; the date for Dallas Redbird airport is March 6. See the older map, and find a link to the new one (scroll down) here:

Here is a basic set of photos and names of w**ds on a master list help you decide if what is in your yard is something you want to pull or pamper. One person's w**d is another person's salad or butterfly food. (Shown – Carolina Snail Seed)

February Gardening Tips

It’s still cold but garden tasks are heating up. Get those seeds going and potatoes in the ground. Download the Vegetable Planting Chart for North Texas.

Planting

Plant asparagus, beets, broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cabbage, carrots, cauliflower, cilantro, collards, English peas, lettuce, kohlrabi, onion transplants, parsley, potatoes, radishes, spinach, Swiss chard, and turnips.
Continue to plant evergreen shrubs, fruit, nut, and shade trees.
Plant early spring-blooming annuals like dianthus, petunias, and alyssum in late February.

Pruning

Complete pruning of oak trees before February 15 to minimize chance of oak wilt infestation. Note: Do not prune live oaks or red oaks from Feb.15 to June 30. If you must prune then, always “paint” the cut end with tree wound paint, being very careful not to paint over the collar of the cut.
Prune other shade trees and woody shrubs as necessary to remove dead wood and improve structure.
Finish pruning pecan trees and fruit trees before spring bud break.
Prune all standard roses, except climbing varieties, by about 50% by mid-February.
Prune tall Nandinas, if necessary, to improve fullness, by removing one-third of the tallest canes at 2-3” above ground level (late February). Repeat the next two years.
Trim or mow grassy groundcovers such as liriope and mondo grass, if needed, due to freeze damage or ragged appearance, before spring growth begins.

Plant Care

Apply horticultural oil to fruit and pecan trees, and to scale-prone shrubs such as euonymus and hollies, when temperature is 45-65 for two weeks (mid-February). Check the Texas A&M AgriLife Extension Service website bookstore for a pamphlet on the Homeowner’s Fruit and Nut Spray Schedule.
Fertilize cool season grasses such as fescue and ryegrass with a slow release fertilizer.
Apply pre-emergent herbicides to established lawns to control warm season broadleaf and grassy w**ds, such as dandelions and crabgrass no later than early March.
Fertilize pansies and other winter annuals with your favorite fertilizer.

Continue to protect tender plants from hard freezes.
