Garden Checklist

From The Fresno Bee, July 23, 2009 (edited):

Garden Checklist:

Water camellias regularly to avoid bud drop during bloom season.

Tasks: Rinse dust off foliage to prevent spider mite damage.
Pruning: Cut spent canes to the ground after harvesting berries. Attach new canes to the trellis for next year's crop.
Fertilizing: Apply regularly for bloom and fruit production.
Planting: autumn crocus bulbs; plant seeds of rutabagas and squash.
Things to Ponder: Rebuild water basins around deep-rooted permanent plants; water deeply and less frequently.
