Horticulturist Ben Vance of Iowa State College notes gardens thrive now but weeds do too. He urges pulling weeds young to prevent crowding. Avoid deep cultivation near feeder roots and consider mulching. Topdress with high nitrogen fertilizer such as 10-10-10 or 12-12-12 for vegetables.
The guide advises applying fertilizer at 1 pint per 50 feet of row and mixing into the topsoil half an inch deep, avoiding leaves. Do not over-fertilize before fruit sets. After setting, 2 tablespoons of complete fertilizer per plant improves yields. Also notes on roses, June planting, renovation after strawberry harvest, and raspberry tip pruning to boost next year's yield with about 1 inch weekly water. If rain is scarce, irrigate.
