When the weather is hot, hot, hot and dry, dry, dry, it is important to protect your plants and keep them healthy. Here are some tips to keep them thriving this summer.

Water early, before 8 am or later in the evening, after 7 pm to minimize evaporation.
Water new plantings, vegetables and container plants often. Depending on temperature this might mean daily.
Even if you have an irrigation system, it's important to hand water deeply at least once per week.
Lawns should be watered deeply, not daily. It is better to water longer and less often to establish deeper roots.
Mulch beds to retain moisture. Use bark or compost for best results.

BEAT THE HEAT WITH A SUN SAIL

HOT & DRY!!

...the perfect conditions for spider mites. Watch plantings carefully for signs of distress. Yellowing and mottled foliage, curling leaves, and webbing are all clear indicators. Treat with a miticide such as Fertilome Triple-Action or a natural product such as Natural Guard Spinosad Soap or Organicide Bee Safe 3 in 1 Garden Spray. Keep plants clean with a strong stream of water to prevent infestation.

If you are hot this summer, you can expect our little feathered friends are too.

Give them a place to cool down and take a sip while adding beauty and elegance to your garden.

BOUNTIFUL BLOOMS

Fertilize your pots and baskets weekly with Fertilome Blooming & Rooting for continuous blooms.

Don't apply in the heat of the day when the sun is out. Evening is the best application time.

BERRIES

Many types of berries do well in our area. Blackberries, raspberries, blueberries, and strawberries are the most commonly known. Try adding a honeyberry or yezberry to your array of fruit producing plants.

Many of the berries such as blueberries not only produce fruit, but are beautiful shrubs in your landscape.

RUSSIAN SAGE

Russian Sage’s massive popularity is no doubt due to its ability to thrive in dry, tough conditions. It blooms all summer and grows well in almost all soil conditions. And if that weren’t reason enough to plant it, Russian Sage is extremely resistant to deer, rabbits and even elk. Its fragrant blooms attract butterflies and hummingbirds as well.

Russian Sage can grow up to 48" tall and wide. It is a low maintenance plant that looks its best when cut back hard (leaving 6 to 12” of stem above ground) in mid-spring.
