You Tube Enhanced Garden Articles. Sunday, June 28, 2015. THINGS TO DO IN JULY. The weather in July can become hot and dry and precautions are necessary. If mulch has not been applied by the first of the month, put it down after watering crops heavily; grass clippings work great. Water tomatoes lightly if dry to prevent split skins if a big rain should come. Sun-sensitive flowers such as impatiens, fuchsias, ferns, primrose, and gardenias should be protected from direct sunlight. Foliar feed these pl...

You Tube Enhanced Garden Articles. Tuesday, August 19, 2014. IRRIGATION: Parts 1 and 2 by Doug Niemeyer. 8220;Without water nothing lives”. Not to profound a statement; in fact, kind of a no brainer. 8220;Too much water and nothing lives”. Well, yea…. OK…. I can see that too, only lily pads live in a pond.

You Tube Enhanced Garden Articles. Sunday, November 9, 2014. Winterizing your garden and landscape. Wintertime can be very rough on some of the evergreen shrubs like rhododendron, japonica, boxwood, and mountain laurel, if they have been planted in a non-protected place. The harsh, dry winter winds pose the biggest threat to their life. You can overcome this problem by either spraying the plant in November, on a 40-degree day, with an anti-transparent, or tenting around the plant with burlap. A You Tube ...

You Tube Enhanced Garden Articles. Sunday, July 20, 2014. When most people think of garden pests their minds seem to conger up visions of ugly multi-legged insects chewing up the garden or landscape. The number of questions I get seem to be, not how to get rid of the six legged kind, but the four legged types. Some of the controls I'll mention might sound ridiculous, but hear or read them out; people have tried them and swear by them. A motion detector that will turn on a light and radio will have an eff...

You Tube Enhanced Garden Articles. Saturday, August 1, 2015. WHAT TO DO IN AUGUST. WHAT TO DO IN AUGUST. Water is critical for maturing crops. If the month is dry, apply about 1 to 1 1/2 inches of water a week. Remove and compost spent plants to reduce insect populations, control disease and make way for fall crops. Tie up the cauliflower leaves so they shade the white head inside; the sunlight will turn the head a brownish color. Choose a dry, sunny day to harvest straw flowers, statice, money plant, co...
