Garden Checklist:
July's heat ripens fruit and vegetables rapidly, harvest frequently.
Tasks: Control weeds before they flower and multiply.
Pruning: Pinch back new growth to improve plant shape and encourage bloom.
Fertilizing: Select a lawn fertilizer that is rich in potassium for deep roots and water efficiency.
Planting: If you plant now, remember to provide ample water and temporary shade; spider lily (Lycoris); from seed--corn, parsnips.
Things to ponder: Remain aware of climate changes and how they may be affecting plants and shrubs in your garden.
