Gardening To Do List:

July/August

  • Make sure garden beds have 3-4 inches of mulch to keep soil temperatures regulated and moisture retained during the warmer months. 
  • Water containers daily, vegetable gardens twice weekly, and landscape beds once weekly.
  • Do yourself a favor and stay ahead of unwanted weeds.
  • Now is the time to take semi-hardwood cuttings for propagation.
  • Avoid heavy fertilization and pruning which can stress plants.
  • Keep mower blades sharp to promote a healthy lawn.
  • Continue scouting for diseases such as brown patch and bag worms.
