Garden Tips for Summer Vacation and Plant Care
Weed the garden before traveling to save effort later and apply a two inch mulch layer to curb weed growth, conserve moisture, and cool soil. Water if dry after mulching. Deadhead fading flowers to encourage blooming and prevent mold. Holly trees show two signs of stress from wind and older leaves yellowing as new growth appears. No spray needed for spin spot injuries.
