Summer is here

Sunday, June 29th, 2008

Ah the summer season is upon us with all the trimmings. Lots of sun, fast growing weeds, plus great times around the family patio. Watch the watering as the temperature begins to rise. Try to water during early morning hours. Deep soaking of all areas, then allow to dry somewhat before watering again. Soaker hoses and drip is the way to go if you are not watering the lawn. You will save money, time, plus your plants will do better. Apply at least three inches of organic mulch or compost to all planting beds to suppress weeds and hold in valuable moisture. Scratch in a little calcium rich Azomite around tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, and squash. If your lawn needs a little brighter shade of green don’t be afraid to apply an application of our organic lawn fertilizer Cascade Natural. It won’t burn and should give you great results. Dead-head perennials after they bloom.  The effort will result in possible re-blooms (now thats a rich payback) as well as keep your garden looking good. As the weather warms you may want to consider adding a little water feature. Cool idea don’t you think? We have all the goods you might need. Just make sure you do your research before grabbing the shovel. We also have all the plants you will need to stock your new feature. I might also remind you we are now the local dealer for the rechargable mowers by Neuton. They are great and look good to. Come on in and test drive this revolutionary new mower. My mom has had the smaller version now for over a year and just loves it. The new larger size in better for larger lawns. Batteries will last about one hour. They mulch, bag, or side discarge
