🚿H2-Whoa! A Guide to Quenching Your Garden’s Summer Thirst 🚿

Ken Lain, the Top 10 Gardener, here. Summer's heat can leave your garden parched, but don’t let those drooping leaves discourage you! Water Wisely Morning Glory: Water in the morning so your plants have time to dry out before evening, preventing diseases. Wilting Wonders: Some plants, like tomatoes, wilt as a way to cope with heat. If they perk up in the evening, they’re likely okay. Thirsty Roots: Annuals need more frequent watering than perennials, while trees and shrubs need a deep soak once a week. Containers and vegetable gardens need consistent moisture. Yellow Alert Chlorosis Clues: Yellowing leaves could mean your soil pH is too high, locking out essential nutrients. Soil sulfur can help lower the pH and restore your plants' vibrant green color. Fall Fertilizing Holiday Schedule: Fertilize four times a year - around Halloween, New Year's, Easter, and Fourth of July. This helps your plants thrive despite our challenging soil and water conditions. Get in the know!
