Spring is here and now is the time to be careful when digging in your yards or gardens. You may be surprised by what's buried in your yard. That's because most electric, gas, water, sewer and telecommunications companies are delivering utility services underground. To avoid personal injury and damage to those underground lines, state law requires you to contact JULIE before any digging project, regardless of the project size or depth. Both the call and JULIE's services are free.

You can prevent injury and avoid damage by following these four important steps:

1.) Call or Click before you dig
2.) Wait the required amount of time (two working days after your phone call)
3.) Respect the marks
4.) Dig with care

Notify JULIE if you are doing any of the following projects:

Decks & Patios
Trees or Shrubs
Swing Sets
Signs
Fountains
Tents
Fences
Mailbox Posts
Room Additions
Gardens
Swimming Pools
Landscaping

Call 811 or 1-800-892-0123 to place a Locate Request.

     JR's Plant of the Month


                              Pansies 4.5"

The 4.5" Pansies are arriving which means Spring is here!

Pansies are hardy annuals whose flowers have faces. These plants offer colorful flowers for any season in your garden. They have one of the widest ranges of colors and are good for containers, borders, and ground covers.

Planting
Pansies like sun and cooler temperatures. Space the plants about 7 to 12 inches apart. They will spread about 9 to 12 inches and grow to be about 6 to 9 inches tall.

Care
Remember to water your pansies regularly. One of the most common reasons pansies fail is because they are not watered enough, so if your pansies are not doing well, try watering them more.

You can use a general, all-purpose fertilizer around your pansies to help them grow.

Remove faded/dead flowers to prolong blooming and encourage more flowers to grow.
