RAINY DAY BLOOMS

7/1/2015

0 Comments

 
Well...this blooming season has turned out to be a challenging one...First the sun , then not! Mixed in with rain drops and even hail...So , what do we do ?-and what do we expect? First of all..the rain is good and healthy for the plants as they reach down deep for their water and nutrients! So , this is twofold, on one hand we use less water and the plants are drinking daily but on the other hand the 'fleur' are not showing much or get beaten down by rain!-yikes!  
Here's the good news...Summer just started!!! When the sun comes back, we're in for a delightful show!!! 
Hints & Positive notes: It's great gardening weather! It's easy to weed! It's saving Water! It's calming! The Hydrangea are delighted!
So, this week remember to liquid feed your plants and as the weather warms up your plants will have available nutrients also ...dead head and dead head again!
The Roses should be pruned down 3-5 leaf breaks and spent flower heads should be removed ...All this will encourage new growth....
Happy Fourth to all of you ...Plant a bit of Red White n' the Blue!!!Our tried n' true colors.....Sue
