Tips from Jon for this month:

Pest Notes

Thrips are here. We have been getting many calls from concerned gardeners with roses which lose their flowers soon after opening.

This damage is caused by thrips, small insects which live inside the developing flower and leaf bud. The best treatment for these insects is the use of a systemic insecticide.

Caring for Your Landscape

Temperatures are now reaching the century mark. Be sure to follow the recommended guidelines on watering. Excessive moisture on your lawn, together with warm night time temperature, will encourage lawn diseases. Your plants will need more water during these hot months, which means more water on your watering days, not more often. Too frequent water will cause a decline in health in an established landscape. A healthy, well developed and planned landscape will experience fewer insects and disease.

A tree or a shrub can create a delightful focal point in your patio garden design. Many of our gardens have at least one specimen plant, usually a tree but sometimes a shrub. A specimen plant is one that is eye-catching, beautiful, often architectural in form, and can stand alone in a yard or garden. Such specimen plants do not only have to reside in the ground. You can bring one or more onto your patios, decks or balconies and create the same visual effect.

This long-lasting exotic floral display is the next best thing to a tropical getaway!

Gardening can be a tremendously enjoyable and rewarding activity. But it can also be the source of accidents, many of which can be preventable. Most accidents happen when gardeners take shortcuts, lack the skill or training to do a job properly, ignore potential risks, don't plan well or just have plain old bad luck.
