The days are beginning to get shorter, however the heat of summer can last into the first part of September. How long the summer heat lasts can vary from year to year. We can only wait and see what Mother Nature (or climate change) brings us. Although it still feels like summer, now is the time to start your fall gardens. Just remember that new plantings and especially containers need to be watered regularly when there has not been enough rain. Check your gardens daily during hot, dry weather and water when the top inch or two of soil is dry. Remember containers dry fast in the heat and may need water daily.
New Arrivals and Displays!
July has gone by fast. The heavy rain and hot temperatures are hard on vegetable plants. Additionally, plants may have different reactions to pest and diseases treatments in high temperatures. Be sure to read product labels. Most products will include temperatures to avoid use – or recommend that you apply it at cooler times of the day. Early morning or early evening are better times to apply treatments during hot weather. Also be cautious with fertilizers that can burn plants in hot weather. Slow release and organic varieties are safer to use when temperatures are high. While some of your summer crops may be fading out, you can start planning and preparing for a fall garden. Remove spent plants in your vegetable garden and prepare an area to start seeds of fast-growing crops through the first week of August. Beets, greens, summer squash, radishes, carrots, beans and cucumbers all have quick growing varieties that mature in 60 days or less. These can be sown in late summer and harvested in a short time before the first fall frost arrives. Seed packets are available in our Garden Center.
We had a rainy spring, but the hot dry days of summer have moved in. Be sure to water your gardens and new tree and shrub plantings regularly. Check your containers and hanging baskets daily. They dry out faster and may need to be watered once or twice daily depending on the location they are in and the amount of soil in their container. Stick your finger in the soil. Water the plant when the top inch or two of the soil is dry. Remember to check garden ponds and water features daily through summer and add water as needed. Keep bird baths filled to provide water for the wild birds. Visit us for a great selection of garden hoses, sprayers, sprinklers, and more to help you do your watering tasks more efficiently and faster.
Hello Friends,
Hello Friends,
Hello Friends,
The days are getting longer, which means SPRING is getting closer! As the weather starts to feel more like early spring, take advantage of the days that you can comfortably work outside. You can clean up your beds and remove dead growth from the previous season. Cut most perennials to 3” above the ground; ornamental grass and hardy hibiscus can be cut to 6” above the ground. Remove damaged foliage, any old flower stalks and seed heads. To control Iris borer, clean up and destroy the old foliage before new growth begins. Avoid the urge to work up your garden soil too early. Tilling too early in the season, or when the soil is wet, can result in the soil becoming compacted and make it dry out too fast.
