This consistently wet summer seems to be prepping us for great fall planting!  If you are vacationing this month remember to take a look at the landscapes and gardens surrounding you while traveling.  Make a mental note of colors and textures and how they are used in that particular landscape.  Assuming that the plants will work in our zone, it could give you some good ideas for fall planting in your own gardens and yards.

 There’s always something to be doing in the garden.

The dog days of summer can wreak havoc on your turf and drought intolerant plant material.  Water new plantings and turf every day unless it rains.  Continue watering the next day after the rain stops.  Cutting your lawn one half of an inch higher will allow the blades of grass to collect more morning dew.  Pruning this time of year not only keeps your plant material looking well kept but also gives a great opportunity to notice any unwanted pests or diseases.
