| • | You can still plant small plants, but be prepared to give them TLC to get them established in the heat of the summer. |
| • | Keep your containers watered daily and fertilize them weekly with an organic liquid fertilizer that is diluted by half. |
| • | We are now under our city's watering restrictions that started April 1. Water before 10 am or after 6 pm to conserve water and water ONLY AS NEEDED and not during a rain storm! |
| • | Watch for fire ants. A fire ant bait like Come and Get It will start to help keep the fire ants under control. |
| • | Dead-head perennials and annuals to promote more blooms. |
| • | Keep your bird feeders filled. Summer is a great time to attract birds to your garden to encourage them to feed on pests in your garden. |
| • | Use thick layers of newspaper with mulch on top to block weeds in your landscape instead of plastic. |
| • | Raise the blade on your mower as the temps rise. This will help conserve water and shade the weeds to discourage them from sprouting. |
