Hello Friends,
I hope you all had a wonderful holiday weekend! It’s a great time to enjoy your yard and have outdoor gatherings, play games or just relax on your own. Enhance your outdoor spaces by adding plants, furniture, fountains, statues and décor items. Visit us for items and ideas to help you create your favorite spaces!
I also hope you are having a successful growing season. This should include a lot of watering during our summer drought conditions. Remember to water your trees and landscape beds along with your flower and vegetable gardens. All your plants, new and old, need to be watered during drought conditions. Water plants into the soil at the base of the plant (at the drip line for trees) on a regular schedule. Early morning is best - early evening is the next best time. Visit us for a great selection of watering hoses, sprinklers, drip irrigation items and more.
Also remember to monitor your plants for pests and disease issues. Read labels on treatment products to find out the best times to apply, and what temperature is too hot to apply some types of products. Diatomaceous Earth applied according to the instructions is a good option for controlling slugs and crawling insects. Use slow release or organic fertilizer according to the label to reduce chances of burning up plants in the heat.
Be sure to drink a lot of water, take cooling breaks and enjoy summer!
Keep Growing,
Scott
