JULY…

Oh When the scarlet cardinal tells Her dream to the dragon fly, And the lazy breeze makes a nest in the trees, And murmurs a lullaby, It is July.

~Susan Hartley Swett

July Gardening Tips

1. Deadhead your flowers, removing faded blooms from your spring perennial flowers such as peonies, bearded iris, andAsiatic lilies.

2. Harvest daily as vegetables always taste better when young and tender.

3. Stay on top of pests with daily walks of your garden.

4. Mulch, mulch, mulch! Retain moisture and suppress weeds with mulch.

5. Look to your gardens; see that you destroy all kinds of weeds before they go to seed.
