Your summer garden's health and success depends a lot on what gardening projects you worked on in spring.
From dividing and transplanting perennials, to controlling weeds and deer in your garden, I’ve got you covered!
1
DIVIDING AND TRANSPLANTING PERENNIALS: There are so many benefits to dividing perennials in your garden, including keeping your plants healthy and saving you money.
PREPARING THE SOIL: This is where a successful garden starts. Having the right soil is important when preparing your garden beds.
2
WEED CONTROL: Keeping the weeds under control before they flower and go to seed will make a big difference in your summer garden. Mulch will also help to suppress weeds.
3
HARDENING OFF YOUR FLOWERS: If you’ve grown seedlings and plants indoors, acclimate them to the outdoor conditions before being transplanted to the garden.
4
SUPPORTING YOUR FLOWERS: Providing strength and support for your taller and bulkier flowers from the rain, winds, and weight of their blooms is crucial in any garden.
5
PINCH BACK ANNUAL FLOWERS: Pinching encourages plants to produce more branches near the base, increasing the total number of flowering stems per plant and producing longer stems.
6
PROTECTING YOUR GARDEN FROM DEER: Start protecting plants as soon as they start growing. I use a deer repellant spray when there is no rain or wind.
