Garden Checklist

From The Fresno Bee, July 2, 2009 (edited):

Garden Checklist:

Remember friends, neighbors and shut-ins with extra produce and flowers from your garden.

Tasks: Use water wisely in all parts of the garden.
Pruning: Deadhead annuals and perennials.
Fertilizing: Give special attention to container plants.
Planting: Midsummer in the Valley is typically not the best planting time; cyclamen; plant from seed---cauliflower, cereriac, celery.
Things to Ponder: Do not spray herbicides when daily temperatures exceed 100' to prevent the spray from vaporizing. Protect neighboring plants with a cardboard shield.

  1. You really know your stuff!

    About the comments thing...there's a way to customize the comments section so that we don't have to do the word verification and have the commnets box appear over the blog. We'd be able to post comments and then resume reading. As it stands now, we have to back spacd 3 times to get back to the page. Just a blogging tip for the day.

    I also know people track how many "hits" they, where they're coming from, etc. I personally don't know how that is done. Anywasy. have a great 4th!
