AUGUST GARDENING TIPS

Is it BACK TO SCHOOL already?! Here are tips for gardening and lawns to squeeze into your busy schedule this month.
PLANT
• Plant Grass and Turf as soon as you can in order to take hold before winter.
• Do you have a garden? Fall vegetables need to be planted including broccoli, cabbage and other cole crops.
• Fall ANNUALS
• Don’t forget to buy Crape Myrtles in bloom. Prime time is winding down, so buy and plant now. Plan on watering them by hand. Soak deeply every other day the rest of this year.
• Fall-flowering Bulbs. Plant as soon as you can.
PRUNE
• Mow lawn at recommended height to prevent weed growth.
• Remove dead or damaged branches from large tree. It’s best to have a professional check your trees now.
• Prune or pinch out spent flower stalks, seed heads and dead leaves from annuals and perennials.
FERTILIZE
• Apply iron to yellowed leaves with dark green veins, most prominently displayed on newest growth. Include source of sulfur to lower soil pH and help keep iron in soluble form as long as possible.
• All-Nitrogen food to Bermuda turf saving half of that nitrogen to be in slow-release form. Wait to feed St. Augustine until early September to less chances of gray leaf spot outbreak.
• Patio pots and hanging baskets to replenish nutrients that have leached out of the potting soil with frequent irrigation.
