The days are so long and warm it is as if you gaze at a plant long enough you will see it actually grow.
It’s important that you supplement your containers or hanging baskets of flowers with a liquid feed because of this rapid growth and constant watering, nutrients will leach out of the container mix and the hanging baskets or pots of flowers will “run down” and for sure you will be disappointed. I like to use Osmocote slow release fertilizer on the plants but even then they will need a liquid supplement about every 10 days to keep things going.
Remember that I told you about our free liquid fertilizer in the greenhouse that you don’t need to dilute for outside plants. Just please bring your own container as we cannot supply enough for the demand. Your welcome to come in anytime during our hours of operation.
Another important chore is to deadhead your flowers (at least those that require it) so that they keep blooming as spent flowers get in the way of new growth that will keep the flower parade coming. If you think your having bug problems, just bring your samples in a plastic bag and we’ll identify the bug or disease and can make recommendations on the control of the malady.
Remember June is perennial gardening month and a good time to select and plant some of your favorite perennials and you’ve got to come over and see the roses in bloom!
Happy gardening!
