Tips from Tim
As you move your garden into the summer month think about:
​
Watering and Soil Care
-
Water early: Water your plants in the early morning (around 6:00 AM to 8:00 AM) so the roots absorb moisture before the sun evaporates it.
-
Water deeply: Aim for a deep soak 8 to 12 inches down rather than a quick sprinkle, which encourages strong root systems.
-
Add mulch: Put a 2-to-3-inch layer of straw, chopped leaves, or wood chips around plants to keep the soil cool and retain moisture.
Maintenance and Protection
-
Control weeds: Pull weeds early in the morning while it is still cool so they do not steal water from your flowers and vegetables.
-
Provide shade: Use a 50% shade cloth over sensitive crops like leafy greens during intense afternoon heat waves.
-
Deadhead flowers: Snip off dead or dying blooms on flowers like zinnias and marigolds to encourage new buds to grow.
Pest and Harvest Control
-
Check for bugs: Look closely under leaves daily for common warm-weather pests like squash bugs and tomato hornworms.
-
Harvest in the morning: Pick your vegetables and cut flowers early in the day when their water and sugar content is at its highest.
