Garden News for July

• Remember how important it is to next year's flowers to not cut the foliage off of your spring bulbs. Always allow them to die back to the ground naturally!
• To keep the new blooms coming on plants be sure to deadhead. It is actually quite therapeutic...try it today!
• We still have annuals that you can use to make some planters to liven up those dull areas around the house.
• Remember that even drought and heat tolerant plants need special attention paid to them when they are used in containers and/or hanging baskets. Check them frequently!
• Use Sevin to prevent Japanese Beetles
• To promote branching on your mums pinch them back AGAIN...but remember not to do after July (not an official date - just mine)
