      <image:title>In The Dirt! - April Garden Checklist for Southern New Hampshire - Tool Prep Before the Busy Season</image:title>
      <image:caption>February is when good gardeners sharpen more than just their plans. Clean, sharp tools make pruning safer for both plants and people. Dull blades tear wood instead of making clean cuts, which slows healing and increases disease risk. Start by cleaning pruners, loppers, and saws with warm water and a stiff brush. Disinfect blades with rubbing alcohol or a diluted bleach solution, especially if they were used on diseased plants last year. Sharpen blades and oil moving parts so everything is ready when spring arrives. Homeowners often underestimate how much better pruning goes with well maintained tools. It is one of the simplest upgrades you can make to your gardening routine.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Salt spray is a background condition most Seacoast gardeners underestimate until they see the damage—bronzed leaf margins, stunted growth, and flowers that never quite fill out. Limelights sit in a sweet spot: they're more salt-tolerant than most hydrangeas, but they still benefit from strategic placement. A windward hedge, a fence, or taller evergreens on the ocean-facing side can dramatically reduce the salt load reaching your shrubs.</image:caption>

      <image:title>In The Dirt! - Countdown to Spring: Preparing Tools and Supplies - Preparing Soil Amendments</image:title>
      <image:caption>Zone 6b soils along the Seacoast vary widely. Some properties in Portsmouth and North Hampton have sandy, fast draining soil. Others in inland areas near Exeter may have heavier, compacted ground. Stock up on compost, organic fertilizers, and mulch before garden centers sell out. Having materials ready allows you to respond quickly once the soil reaches workable moisture levels. Early soil preparation supports strong root development and long term plant health.</image:caption>

      <image:title>In The Dirt! - Greenhouse and Cold Frame Gardening Extending the Season on the Seacoast - Understanding the Difference Between Greenhouses and Cold Frames</image:title>
      <image:caption>A greenhouse is a larger, enclosed structure designed to capture sunlight and retain warmth. It creates a controlled environment where plants can grow even when outdoor temperatures remain low. Many Seacoast gardeners use greenhouses to start seeds in late winter while snow still covers the ground. A cold frame, by contrast, is smaller and simpler. Often built low to the ground with a transparent lid, it acts as a miniature greenhouse. Cold frames are perfect for hardening off seedlings, protecting early spring greens, or extending fall harvests without a full scale structure.</image:caption>

      <image:title>In The Dirt! - Soil Testing and Amending Before Spring - Understanding Soil pH in Zone 6b</image:title>
      <image:caption>One of the most important results from a soil test is pH. Many ornamental shrubs and trees common to Seacoast gardens, including hydrangeas, rhododendrons, and certain evergreens, are sensitive to soil acidity. If the pH is too high or too low, plants struggle to absorb nutrients even if those nutrients are present. Adjusting pH before spring growth begins allows roots to access what they need during the active growing season. This early preparation leads to stronger foliage, better flowering, and improved resistance to pests and disease.</image:caption>

      <image:title>In The Dirt! - Compost Planning for the Year Ahead - Start With a Clear Compost Goal</image:title>
      <image:caption>Before you begin adding kitchen scraps and yard waste, think about how you want to use your compost. Are you preparing new planting beds this spring. Improving shrub borders. Supporting ornamental trees that have struggled. Planning a vegetable patch. Knowing your goal helps determine how much compost you will need and when. For example, if you plan to refresh mulched beds in North Hampton or expand perennial borders in Portsmouth, you may want finished compost ready by early spring. That means starting your pile the previous summer or fall.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>The middle number on the label represents phosphorus, the nutrient plants rely on for root development, flowering, and fruiting. When you’re transplanting young shrubs or dividing perennials in early spring or fall, phosphorus helps new roots establish quickly and deeply. Fertilizers like Ferti-Lome Root Stimulator 4-10-3 are designed with this in mind — the higher middle number encourages strong root growth before top growth begins.</image:caption>

      <image:title>In The Dirt! - Winter Wildlife: Helping Birds and Pollinators Thrive - Why Winter Habitat Matters</image:title>
      <image:caption>Our coastal climate brings fluctuating temperatures, salt air, and occasional freeze thaw cycles. These conditions can be challenging for wildlife already conserving energy. Native birds and overwintering pollinators rely on natural cover and food sources to survive until spring. Well planned fine gardening supports this ecosystem. By balancing pruning, mulching, and seasonal timing, we can protect plant health while also preserving habitat.</image:caption>

      <image:title>In The Dirt! - Pruning Forsythia Early for Structure and Spring Show | NH Seacoast - The Right Time to Prune</image:title>
      <image:caption>The best time to prune forsythia is right after the flowers fade in late April to May. Once the brilliant yellow blooms are finished, the plant immediately begins setting buds for the following year. Pruning at this stage gives the shrub the entire summer to produce strong new shoots that will carry next spring’s flowers. If you wait too long and prune later in the season, you risk cutting off those developing buds and losing next year’s display.</image:caption>

      <image:title>In The Dirt! - Planning and Ordering Summer Flower Bulbs - What Are Summer Flower Bulbs</image:title>
      <image:caption>Summer flowering bulbs include plants such as dahlias, lilies, gladiolus, begonias, and cannas. Unlike spring bulbs that bloom early and fade as temperatures rise, these varieties come into their own once the soil warms and the days grow longer. In our Seacoast climate, most summer bulbs are planted after the danger of frost has passed, typically in mid to late May. Ordering early ensures you have access to the healthiest stock and the best selection before popular varieties sell out.</image:caption>

      <image:title>In The Dirt! - Starting a Cutting Garden from Seed - Preparing the Soil</image:title>
      <image:caption>Strong flowers start with healthy soil. Before sowing seeds, loosen the soil to a depth of several inches and incorporate compost to improve structure and fertility. In sandy soils, compost helps retain moisture during dry summer spells. In heavier soils, it prevents compaction and encourages proper drainage. A soil test in early spring can guide you in adjusting pH and nutrient levels. Many cutting flowers thrive in slightly acidic to neutral soil. Amending before planting gives your seedlings the best possible start.</image:caption>

      <image:title>In The Dirt! - Caring for Indoor Bulbs After Bloom - Water and Feed Lightly</image:title>
      <image:caption>After bloom, indoor bulbs still need consistent care. Water when the top inch of soil feels dry, but do not let the pot sit in standing water. Overwatering is one of the most common problems I see in homes across Rye and North Hampton. A light application of a balanced liquid fertilizer every few weeks can help support healthy leaf growth. This extra nutrition encourages strong bulbs that are more likely to thrive once moved outdoors. Healthy foliage now means stronger flowers later.</image:caption>

      <image:title>In The Dirt! - Dormant Pruning Shrubs and Small Trees - Shrubs That Benefit From Dormant Pruning</image:title>
      <image:caption>Many deciduous shrubs respond beautifully to late winter pruning. Hydrangea paniculata and smooth hydrangea are good examples. These bloom on new wood, so pruning now encourages stronger stems and larger flowers in summer. Spirea, potentilla, and summersweet can also be pruned during dormancy. Removing old or crowded stems improves airflow and allows sunlight to reach the center of the plant. This leads to fuller growth and better flowering. Shrubs that bloom in spring should be approached with caution. Lilac, forsythia, and azalea form buds the previous season. Pruning them now removes flowers, so they are best pruned right after blooming.</image:caption>

      <image:title>In The Dirt! - Protecting Outdoor Containers and Shrubs from Freeze: A Seacoast Gardener’s Winter Advice - Preparing Outdoor Containers for Winter</image:title>
      <image:caption>Containers need special attention before the first hard freeze. Start by assessing what can realistically stay outside. Cold hardy perennials and small shrubs can overwinter successfully, but only if their roots are protected. Move containers closer to the house or into a sheltered spot where they are shielded from prevailing winds. Insulating pots is one of the most effective steps you can take. Wrapping containers with burlap, bubble wrap, or natural fiber insulation helps moderate temperature swings. Elevating pots slightly off frozen ground improves drainage and prevents water from freezing solid around the roots. Water containers deeply before the ground freezes, since hydrated roots tolerate cold far better than dry ones.</image:caption>

      <image:title>In The Dirt! - How to Make Winter Compost Work in the Seacoast Garden - What to Compost During the Winter Months</image:title>
      <image:caption>Winter composting works best when you focus on the right materials. Kitchen scraps like vegetable peels, coffee grounds, and eggshells continue to add nitrogen. From the garden, fall leaves, spent annuals, and finely chopped perennial trimmings provide carbon. Avoid adding diseased plant material, especially after a wet Seacoast fall. Woody prunings from shrubs and small ornamental trees should be chipped or cut into small pieces before adding them. Large branches break down very slowly and can stall the compost pile. Professional pruning services often manage this material carefully so it can be reused or composted efficiently.</image:caption>

      <image:title>In The Dirt! - Garden Reflections What This Year Taught Us About Our Landscapes - Why Pruning Timing Matters More Than Ever</image:title>
      <image:caption>One of the clearest lessons this year was the importance of seasonal pruning. Many homeowners are tempted to prune whenever something looks unruly. This season showed how critical timing is for plant health and long term structure. Spring flowering shrubs responded best when pruned right after bloom, while structural pruning on ornamental trees was most successful when done during dormancy or early spring. Avoiding heavy pruning during heat or drought periods helped plants recover faster and resist pests. Thoughtful pruning is not about cutting more. It is about cutting with intention.</image:caption>

      <image:title>In The Dirt! - Refreshing Your Indoor Garden for the New Year - Start With Observation And Gentle Cleanup</image:title>
      <image:caption>Before touching soil or pruning shears, take time to really look at your plants. Notice yellowing leaves, leggy growth, or signs of pests like sticky residue or fine webbing. Indoor plants often show subtle signals before bigger problems develop. Remove dead or damaged leaves with clean, sharp scissors. This improves airflow and reduces the risk of fungal issues, which can be common during damp New England winters. Wipe leaves gently with a damp cloth to remove dust and improve light absorption.</image:caption>

      <image:title>In The Dirt! - Planning a Winter Windowsill Herb Garden - Light Matters More Than You Think</image:title>
      <image:caption>Winter sunlight in North Hampton and surrounding coastal towns is lower and weaker than in summer. South facing windows are best, offering the brightest and longest exposure during short days. East facing windows can also work, especially for herbs like chives and parsley that tolerate gentler light. If plants start stretching or leaning, that is a sign they need more light. Rotating pots weekly keeps growth even and prevents weak stems. Supplemental grow lights can be helpful, but many windowsill gardens succeed simply by choosing the brightest location in the home.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>One of the simplest and most beneficial steps you can take is to spread a layer of compost across your garden beds in late fall. Compost replenishes nutrients, improves soil structure, and strengthens root systems for the following growing season. In areas with sandy soils, such as parts of North Hampton and Seabrook, compost helps retain moisture during winter and early spring. Spread one to two inches evenly across the soil, letting winter’s natural processes work it in.</image:caption>

Terracotta and ceramic are most vulnerable to cracking and should be prioritized for protected storage. Gardeners in towns like Exeter and Greenland often keep these pots in garages, sheds, basements, or enclosed porches where they remain cool but do not freeze. This simple step dramatically increases the lifespan of your containers.</image:caption>

      <image:title>In The Dirt! - Caging Tulips (Hardware Cloth) To Stop Critter Raids - The Hardware Cloth Solution</image:title>
      <image:caption>Hardware cloth is a galvanized metal mesh, similar to chicken wire but with smaller openings that even voles can’t squeeze through. Creating a simple cage from this material is one of the most reliable ways to safeguard your bulbs. To make a cage, cut a piece of ½-inch hardware cloth large enough to line your planting area. Form the sides and bottom into a shallow box about six inches deep. Place your tulip bulbs inside, root-end down, and cover them with soil. You can then lay another piece of mesh flat over the top before finishing with soil and mulch. The bulbs will grow easily through the gaps, but pests won’t be able to dig in.</image:caption>

Smaller bulbs like scilla and grape hyacinth can be closer — about two to three inches apart. Large bulbs such as alliums should be given eight inches of space to accommodate their spreading roots.</image:caption>

      <image:title>In The Dirt! - Is the Seacoast Climate Changing Beyond Astilbe’s Comfort Zone? - Warmer Summers and Longer Seasons</image:title>
      <image:caption>Average temperatures across New England have been steadily rising for decades, and on the Seacoast the growing season is now a couple of weeks longer than it was in the 1960s. Frost arrives later, spring warms earlier, and summers bring more hot days in between. While that might sound like a gift for gardeners, for astilbes it creates real stress. These perennials evolved in cool woodland soils, and prolonged heat pushes them beyond their comfort zone. Even with regular watering, their foliage often wilts or browns more quickly under the combined pressure of hot sun and drying winds, leaving once-dependable clumps looking tired well before summer’s end.</image:caption>

      <image:title>In The Dirt! - Growing Gorgeous Hydrangeas on the Seacoast - Choosing the Best Hydrangea for Zone 6b</image:title>
      <image:caption>On the Seacoast, which falls within USDA Zone 6b, your choice of hydrangea depends on the look you want and the conditions of your garden. Panicle hydrangeas are the most dependable option, as they tolerate full sun, coastal winds, and colder winters while rewarding you with long-lasting, cone-shaped blooms. Smooth hydrangeas are another safe bet for Zone 6b, thriving in partial shade and producing reliable white flowers each year. If you love the vibrant colors of bigleaf hydrangeas, choose cold-hardy varieties and plant them in protected spots where spring frosts won’t damage their buds. For added seasonal interest, consider oakleaf hydrangeas in a sheltered area, where their unique foliage and stunning fall color can shine. By matching the hydrangea type to your garden’s sunlight, soil, and exposure, you’ll set yourself up for success in Zone 6b.</image:caption>

      <image:title>In The Dirt! - September Pruning Mistakes | NH Seacoast - Pruning at the Wrong Time</image:title>
      <image:caption>When it comes to pruning, timing is everything. One of the most common mistakes is cutting back old-wood bloomers such as lilacs or hydrangeas in the fall or early spring. These shrubs form their flower buds the season before, so pruning at the wrong time means you are removing the very blooms that should appear the following year. The result is a plant that looks healthy but fails to flower, leaving gardeners disappointed.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Yews are a versatile option for Seacoast landscapes and are generally more forgiving than boxwood when it comes to pruning. Unlike many evergreens, they can regenerate even if cut back hard into old wood, making them ideal for taller hedges or situations where a hedge needs a complete reset. For major cutbacks, the best time is early spring before new growth begins, while light shaping can be done through the summer to keep them tidy. Known for their tough, dark green foliage and reliability, yews remain a dependable choice for homeowners who want both structure and resilience in their hedges.</image:caption>

Everyday gardening tasks like weeding, pruning, and mulching often place homeowners right in these tick-friendly areas, increasing the risk of exposure. Understanding how routine yard care intersects with tick habitats is the first step toward creating a safer landscape for both people and plants.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>If mulch volcanoes are so harmful, why do we see them everywhere? The answer lies in appearance, habit, and a bit of misinformation. For many homeowners, the cone shape has an aesthetic appeal. It looks clean and “finished,” like the tree has been neatly tucked into the landscape. The problem is that looks can be deceiving. There’s also a widespread misconception that mulch should be pressed right up against the trunk to protect or “feed” the tree. In reality, piling mulch this way does the opposite—it weakens the bark and suffocates the roots.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Powdery mildew is easy to spot: a white or gray powder that spreads across leaves, stems, and sometimes buds. On peonies, it often starts mid- to late-summer, leaving once-vibrant foliage dull and coated. Other common victims include phlox, bee balm, roses, and even lilacs. Though unsightly, the good news is that powdery mildew can be managed with a mix of cultural practices and careful garden maintenance.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Sandy soil is like a sieve. Water drains too quickly, carrying nutrients away and leaving plants thirsty. On hot summer days it dries out so fast that plants can wilt before you even notice. Fertilizers also wash out quickly, giving roots little time to benefit. The one advantage is that sandy soil warms up faster in spring, which can give plants an early start.</image:caption>

      <image:caption>Pruning in winter reduces the risk of spreading disease or attracting pests because most fungal pathogens are dormant and insects are inactive during the cold months. Cuts made at this time are far less likely to become entry points for infection, allowing plants to heal cleanly once spring growth begins. This makes winter an especially smart time to prune disease-prone plants like crabapples, pears, roses, and lilacs, giving them a healthier start to the new season.</image:caption>

      <image:title>In The Dirt! - Fall Mums on the New Hampshire Seacoast: Planting and Watering Tips for Lasting color - Step One: Soak Before Planting</image:title>
      <image:caption>A simple but powerful tip for Seacoast gardeners is to always soak fall mums before planting. Place the entire pot into a tub of water so the root ball absorbs moisture all the way through. This step ensures your mums begin with a strong foundation. For best results, keep the pot submerged until you no longer see bubbles rising to the surface. Once the soil is fully saturated, remove the plant from the tub and place it into the garden bed, container, or walkway display. This small step makes a big difference in helping your fall mums on the New Hampshire Seacoast last longer and show brighter color.</image:caption>

In the Seacoast region, relatively mild winters allow rabbits to remain active longer than in colder areas, which means they continue foraging well into the growing season. This extended activity increases the likelihood that rabbits will frequent gardens and nibble on plants.</image:caption>

      <image:title>In The Dirt! - Time to Prune the Rhodi: Why Now’s the Perfect Moment for Rhododendron Care - When Is the Best Time to Prune?</image:title>
      <image:caption>In Zone 6b, rhododendrons typically finish blooming by mid to late June. Once the flowers fade, the plant begins to set next year’s buds — and it does so relatively quickly. That’s why early summer is your window for pruning: it’s the sweet spot between the end of blooming and the start of next year’s growth cycle. If you prune too early (before or during bloom), you lose this year’s flowers. If you prune too late (July or later), you risk cutting off the buds for next spring. Timing is everything. Recent spring rains and cool temps gave rhodies a strong bloom season this year, but with summer heat on the way, it's the perfect moment to clean up, shape, and prep your plant for the next cycle.</image:caption>

      <image:title>In The Dirt! - Landscaping Mistakes To Avoid: Rethinking Oversized Foundation Plantings - Smarter Planting: Fixing overgrown front yard landscaping in NH</image:title>
      <image:caption>The solution starts with long-term thinking and a little patience. Here are three practical strategies we recommend. Choose plants based on their mature size, not how they look in a pot. A shrub that’s 2 feet tall at planting might hit 8 feet in a few seasons. Want that full look now but don't want a jungle in five years? Try this: plant a fast-growing filler shrub alongside a slower-growing or long-term pick. Once the keeper fills in, remove the overachiever. Some shrubs tolerate regular shaping; others don’t bounce back well. Know what you're getting into before you plant.</image:caption>
