 August 2004

 Your summer annuals are tired now…….just guessing  :) so, why not cut them back and give them a shot of fertilizer. Many will bloom again and keep you in color into the fall!

   It is a good time to take a soil sample to see what amendments will need to be made to the soil over the winter.

   Mulch again, if necessary, to keep plants from getting too hot and drying out.

   Prune shrubs and trees only out of necessity now—making cuts will encourage new growth and the plants need to start preparing for winter.

   Work outside only in the cooler parts of the day and drink lots of water.
