Here's a quick list of some things that need to be done this week:
- Celebrate the first day of Summer by planting hot weather annuals.
- Water tomatoes, melons, and cucumbers depply every 5 to 7 days for large crops.
- Use a 3 to 4 inch layer of mulch around shrubs and
trees to reduce the need for frequent waterings. Mulching also retards
weed growth.
- Check birch, maple, and ash trees for aphids. Spraying now will avoid the sticky drip later.
- Dress the decks with containers of colorful annuals
and perennials for the holiday. Your local garden center has beautiful
displays to choose from.
