A freshly mown lawn can be so satisfying with its well-trimmed edges and sweet fragrance.
Tasks--Remove thatch and aerate warm-season lawns (Bermuda, zoysia, St. Augustine) to allow better water penetration.
Pruning--Azaleas and camellias as they finish blooming.
Fertilizing--Acid-loving plants, annuals.
Planting--Plant annual summer herbs and vegetables at two-week intervals for successive crops; from seed: floss flower (Ageratum), sunflower (Helianthus), impatiens; asparagus, beets, chard; acacia trees, horse chestnut trees (Aesculius), catalpa, trumpet vine (Campsis); alstroemeria, columbine (Aquilegia), false spriea (Astilbe), deer fern (Blechnum spicant), dianthus.
Things to Ponder--When choosing plants in cell packs from the nursery, be sure roots are not protruding from the bottom of the container.
