• TIPS OF THE MONTH •
May To-Do List:
May is for planting! Plant annuals, perennials, and shrubs now for summer
long color.
Look for sun-loving herb plants if you don't plan on being around to water
your plants. My favorite herbs for landscaping are lavender for hedges, creeping and Elfin Thyme for
lawn substitutes and creeping Rosemary and dwarf Oregano to flavor a rock garden.
Fertilize roses, vegetables, annuals and perennials this month but don't
waste time or money feeding trees and shrubs. Once established even flowering shrubs like rhodies
and azaleas do fine without additional fertilizer.
Raise your mower and let the lawn get three inches tall before cutting.
Then remove one third of the grass blade so that your lawn is always at least two inches high. A
taller lawn shades out weeds and uses less water.
Our next gardening adventure trip is too...
Australia and New Zealand
in November 2008!
This trip will include a cruise to see all of New Zealand; with stops in Melbourne & Sydney, Australia. We will have an optional land portion to explore the Blue Mountains, Hunter Valley wineries, and the beautiful areas around Sydney. Then a few days in Fiji for rest and relaxation, and to break up the trip home. We've got gardens both public and private, and of course Joe has found a "castle" and some incredible caves.
