Garden Checklist

From The Fresno Bee, July 16 (edited):

Native plants have the ability to survive in the worst of times and thrive during the good times. They require less care, less water and can make spectacular flower displays.

Tasks: Use Bacillus thuringiensis [Bt] to control petunia bud worms and tomato horn worms.
Pruning: Bougainvillea to promote better flowering.
Fertilizing: almond, apple, peach and nectarine trees.
Planting: Stembergia lutea; from seed: parsnips.
Things to Ponder: Check sprinklers and timers.
