Adam and Amber take advantage of the spring-like weather to walk listeners through what should already be on the early-season checklist. With Valentine’s Day around the corner, they share quick gift ideas from the nursery, then shift into the real timing window for winter work—tree pruning before bud break, cutting back overgrown shrubs, trimming roses (but not climbers), refreshing mulch beds, and getting lawn equipment serviced before repair shops get backed up.They also encourage homeowners to check sprinkler systems now for clogged heads or freeze damage, and to get on the schedule early if they’ll need a mowing or landscaping company this season. The Plant of the Week is the Redbud, with Adam explaining the differences between eastern and western varieties, why redbuds bloom before leafing out, and why now is the perfect time to plant one.The episode wraps with a strong February reminder: pre-emergent season is here, and staying ahead of crabgrass, sandburs, and other tough West Texas weeds starts now—not after they’ve already taken over.
