Still a Great Time To Plant.

Greetings gardening friends. We here at Lynde Greenhouse are still stocked here with plants for you to plant outside in your lovely yard. As most know summer can be hot and troublesome on plants. Proper watering and fertilizing is still a must. Some plants that have bloomed can be trimmed to promote a fuller plant. Prunning now will allow it to form buds for next year flowers. Dead heading perennial flowers is a good thing to do to. With the rise in temp the last week it has helped some plants but caused others to wilt and get a dose of sunburnt. Water in the early morning and mulch the roots to keep moisture there. Don't overwater in the heavier soils. Fertilizing can be added weekly at a half dose rate of Miracel Gro or Miracid depending on water ph and plant type. Keep on planting and if you have any questions please don't hestitate to ask.
Until next time, Donna
