This Month in the Garden:

July 2010

  • Check evergreens for red spider mites if necessary, with a appropriate treatment. Read label directions, especially for limitations on spraying in certain temperatures( usually if over 85 degrees, avoid spraying)

  • Continue to spray broadleaf weeds in mulched area with a non-selective herbicide. Follow label directions

  • If your lawn has Bermuda (wire) grass, and you want it all to be Fescue, begin spraying the Bermuda with glyphosate (Round Up Pro). Follow label directions. You will need to repeat this spraying to get the best results, usually every 2-3 wk, for the next 2 months, or as needed. Then in the fall, you will re-seed with a fescue blend. The following summer, you may still have to spot spray and Bermuda that you have missed.

  • Chrysanthemums and asters should be kept pinched back until the middle of July to ensure you have beautiful blooms in the fall, and too help maintain a compact, full plant.

  • If possible, remove spent blooms on Crape Myrtles to help produce more blooms. Suckers (new shoots around the trunk) can be removed from Crapes all summer to retain neat appearance. Continue to fertilize your annuals, especially those in pots, to keep them lush for the rest of the summer.

  • Show off some homegrown veggies at your picnics this month!
