Garden Suggestions for May
/
• Plant fruit trees for shade & produce. We have: avocados, apples, figs, guavas & peaches.
• Pull weeds - they take water away from your shrubs & trees. Use a swivel hoe to cultivate simultaneously. Top dress with organic compost.
• Continue deadheading roses & treat for mildew or rust if needed. Spray with neem oil or Safer's fungicide. Feed every 4 weeks with G&B organic rose 4-6-2 to keep them flourishing.
• Prune & feed camellias with G&B 4-5-2.
• Plant corn, squash tomatoes & basil. Longer days will bring nice harvests to the table.
• Fertilize your lawn for stronger drought tolerance. Use Growpower all purpose 5-3-1 or your favorite lawn food.
