Plant

  • Continue to plant tender vegetables, herbs and annuals as soon as the danger of frost is gone.


  • Plant vines, shrubs and trees. Consider Honeysuckle and Clematis for summer and fall color, shrubs like Azalea and Escalonia for structure and fruit trees specifically hybridized for decks.


Maintain

  • Continue watering regularly, make sure that new plants are kept moist as their roots establish.


  • Fertilize regularly, the soil in containers tends to wash out fairly quickly. Pick a day of the week to fertilize with an organic food.


  • Keep an eye out for hungry bugs like: aphids, leaf hoppers, potato bugs, cut worms & June bugs.
