Keep all plants mulched and watered. Water first thing in the morning to avoid wetting leaves which can cause fungal diseases. Use a rain gauge to tell exactly how much rain has fallen on your property.
Deadhead perennials and annuals regularly. Mow grass as needed.
Keep ahead of weeds; never let them develop seeds.
Look for signs of insects or diseases; control quickly.
Feed annuals and container plants. Harvest vegetables, herbs, and fruits as they ripen; protect from bird damage.
Trim hedges and prune shrubs that require shaping.
Cut herbs and flowers for drying.
Divide spent perennials if needed.
Roses need weekly attention throughout the summer (water, fertilizer, fungus and insect control).
Until next time. Stop and smell the roses.
