Summer Garden Tips

Here are some summer gardening tips to help your garden stay healthy all summer long:

• Water plants in the mornings, before the temperature begins to rise. You will want to water at least once a week, and water plants deeply to prevent the roots from becoming too shallow and drying out quickly. 
• Prune rose bushes back after the first bloom. Cut back all dead wood as well. 
• Monitor plants regularly for pest and disease problems and treat accordingly.
• Check container plants daily for their watering needs. 
• If you enjoy having birds visit your yard be sure to provide fresh water for them, a bird bath will do the trick. 
• In your garden be sure to continue wedding regularly.
