For gardeners who want the unusual, try growing some sweet potatoes. Some excellent dry-flesh, sweet potatoes include Orange Jersey and Nugget. Recommended moist-flesh varieties include Gold Rush, Nemagold, Centennial and Puerto Rico.
Warm days make some gardeners anxious to prune. Limit pruning on fruit trees to broken, dead or diseased branches. Major pruning shouldn't take place until the cold, winter weather has passed.
