Gardening to do list in June

Watering tip:

The rainy season will soon be here and in full swing, so when it arrives, cut back your watering if you’re on a daily, every other day or bi-weekly regimen with your new landscape. The “free” irrigation will be sufficient. If rains let up, please be sure to water once or twice a week depending on how new and acclimated your landscape is.

 

Along with rain comes fungus, black spot and insects, so make sure you have Triple Action Neem Oil in your plant care arsenal. Triple Action Neem Oil is an organic pesticide that controls insects, mites and fungus. Triple Action Neem Oil is in stock for $19.99 each (makes up to 8 gallons.)

Also in stock: 5 lb bags of fertilizer ($6.99 each) as summer-time plant fertilization is a must for your plants to bloom, flourish, ward off insects and to maintain over all good health.

How to take care of your newly landscaped yard

Upon installation of your new landscaping a good fertilizer (we like to use 14-14-14 wax coated slow release fertilizer) should be applied to all the plants.

For the first 30 days we recommend watering your new landscaping once a day for 30 minutes to get the plants established.

Once established (after 30 days), water your landscaping 2 times a week for the next month. After that, water once a week from then on out.

FYI- water restrictions do not apply on newly landscaped yards. You must show proof of new landscaping with your receipt and the citation will be lifted.
