Use of mulches to ease gardening chores this summer
Mulches reduce cultivation and weeding while stabilizing soil temperature and moisture. Organic mulches improve soil structure and nutrients as they decompose, and decorative bark adds lasting color. Plastic mulches suit cucumbers and melons, while proper weed removal precedes mulch application and deep watering checks prevent shallow roots.
Everlastings bloom again in winter garden use
Colorful everlastings let winter bouquets shine with dried flowers from a summer garden. Grow from seed now and air dry with two desiccants, then store or arrange later. Notable varieties include straw flowers Helichrysum Starflowers Scabiosa Stellata Sunrays Acroclinium Bells of Ireland Gomphrena globosa Statice Limonium Nigerla Love in a Mist Nigella Celosia Immortelle Xeranthemum.
