For the Weekend Gardener

With a three-day holiday coming up for most, Neil Sperry has offered up a list of “must dos” for our gardens and landscaping! From planting to pruning, check out his latest newsletter:

http://neilsperry.com/…/gardening-this-weekend-september-1…/

These photos were taken when the mulberry tree in my front yard was about to be pruned back, dead wood removed, but sadly it was too far gone to be saved, the previous owners had neglected it for years.

 

Just a few of the things expert gardener Neil Sperry suggests for the last weekend in July:

• It’s prime time for planting cucumbers, crookneck and zucchini squash, bush green beans, and corn if you have room for a 20×20-ft. plot (required for good pollination).
• Annuals, including zinnias, marigolds and celosias for rich fall colors.
• New lawngrass from seed, sod, plugs or by hydromulching. Delaying much longer risks possibility of grass not being well established before winter.
