Gardening Tips for JULY
Sunny days of July encourages us to sit back and enjoy all the hard work we've done 'til now.
1st week - continue to deadhead regularly the flowers to keep them looking their best. Cut some flowers to make indoor arrangements and continue to enjoy them. Generally, plants need less frequent watering, you'll just see them growing before your eyes, water deeply only about once a week according to climate.
2nd week - Continue to weed to keep beds tidy. Add organic compost to flowerbeds and veggie garden. Top mulch up where getting thin in garden. Helps to hold moisture and keeps weeds at bay.
3rd week - trim back perennials as they finish blooming. Trim hedges to keep them looking lush.
4th week - Find out the best location to ensure plant survival; best growing conditions for your new plant to thrive. For example, a shrub that needs full sun will never do well in a north-facing location. Keeping in mind your zone.
Planting Advice:
Use a mixture of annuals and perennials to create "garden rooms" that add privacy or keep flowerbeds interesting throughout the seasons.
Happy Summertime Gardening! Sit back and enjoy that Lemonade...mmmm! ahhh!
