Roses, A Sample of Many Beautiful Varieties

Things To Do in the Garden
|
-
Give newly planted trees, shrubs, perennials and roses
one inch of water per week throughout their root zones.
-
Rejuvenate overgrown shrubs including red twig dogwood,
lilac and forsythia by removing one-third of the oldest canes.
-
Prune out all ground-level sucker growth from crabapple,
apple, plum peach or apricot trees by cutting out growth below soil
level.
-
Prune out weak, fast growing water sprouts that grow
vertically from the branches of fruit trees, redbuds or other ornamental
flower trees.
-
Continue to deadhead perennials & annuals to encourage
more flowering.
-
Cut back, shear or remove flower spikes from catmint,
perennial geraniums, salvia and delphiniums to promote blooms.
-
Monitor tomatoes during hot weather. They appreciate
an even supply of moisture rather than a heavy soaking and then a
drought. Mulching their roots can help.
|
- Decorate your landscape and outdoor living spaces with a colorful
pot.
Moana recommends:
* A visit to their pottery department with an extensive selection of
sizes, colors, materials and shapes including great lines from Sacramento’s
Pottery World.
- Apply organic pesticides and fertilizers.
Moana recommends:
* Green Light Neem Oil
* Safer Insecticidal Soap
* Dr. Earth & Whitney Farms Fertilizer

Choosing Cast Iron for your garden has many advantages.
-
Cast Iron is frost proof. These fountains won’t
break in the winter, no matter how many freeze-thaw cycles we experience.
-
Cast Iron resonates with sound! Each fountain has
a unique musical personality.
-
Cast Iron Fountain bowls are thinner, enabling the
water to flow in fine sheets over the edges. This creates an elegant
appearance.
-
Cast Iron Fountains are easy to install. No heavy
equipment is required and they’re up and running quickly.

and expert assistance. (825-0602, est. 5).
To learn more about the WaterSense program and tips for your home/yard,

WATERWISE TIPS
- Detect and repair all leaks in your irrigation system.
- Water the lawn or garden during the coolest part of the day (early
morning is best). Do not water on windy days unless it’s by drip.
- Water trees and shrubs, which have deep root systems, longer and less
frequently than shallow-rooted plants that require smaller amounts of
water more often.
- Set sprinklers to water the lawn or garden only – not the street
or sidewalk - to avoid runoff.

All Seminars are on Saturday at 10
AM at the Moana Lane store.
