How can I treat weeds in my vegetable garden?
Weeds might start peeking through in the garden beds, even if you put down mulch or a landscape fabric liner to keep them at bay. Pull out weeds from the root in edible flower or vegetable gardens, and dig up the roots if the weed snapped off without them. Be sure to get them before they go to seed. If you'd like to treat weeds with weed killer, check that it's safe for bees, other pollinators, and pets — and wear a respirator and durable rubber gloves to ensure that it doesn't touch your lungs or skin.
Can I fix grass damaged by pets?
The solution for how to get burnt grass green again is easy: Fix the scorched spot with a good long drink. You'll need to rehydrate those roots. It should perk up within a week. On the other hand, the method for how to treat grass from dog urine isn't as straightforward. Grass damaged by pets must be removed, neutralized, and replaced in fresh soil with new grass, sod, or patch and repair grass seed.
When should I water my lawn and garden?
If you can water during the early morning or in the evening, that's ideal. Watering during the heat of the day means much of the moisture will evaporate. This applies to whatever you've got growing: trees, gardens, and lawns. Whenever you water, give all the plants a good drink, and don't skip it when it's not the best time. The plants still need hydration, regardless of the time on the clock. Depending on your grass type, climate, and lawn health, you may also want to apply a lawn fertilizer.
Should I fertilize a fruit tree?
Once you've gotten your plants settled into the ground, you'll need to make sure they stay hydrated and well-fed. Choose an organic or synthetic fertilizer that suits your needs and gives your garden a boost. You can even find one intended for your plants, whether you need a vegetable fertilizer, fruit tree fertilizer, succulent plant food, or a general garden fertilizer. Follow the application instructions and don't add extra. Remember to always water immediately after, as directed. That way, the plants won't be burned by the fertilizer.
How can I keep cool this summer?
When you need a break from relentless summer heat, shelter under a patio umbrella or covered gazebo. If you have sturdy structures like a shed or house, make your own shade by attaching awnings and shade sails. However, sometimes shade isn't enough because it's just too humid out. That's when a patio mister or misting fan can help cool the air and turn a stifling afternoon into a relaxing day. Go back to lounging in the sun when that chilled air is ready.
How do I do a quick patio makeover for entertaining?
Spending time with friends in gorgeous weather makes the season even more special. But you don't need to do a full backyard makeover or create your own patio conversation sets from scratch to do it. Even a tiny backyard refresh can make a big difference. New outdoor lounge furniture, rugs, or even outdoor string lights can add character to a patio.

Set Up For Summertime
As we continue deeper into summer, your landscaping and garden will weather more heat than earlier in the year. That means you'll need to consider how to keep things cool with proper tending and irrigation. Just like we can get sunburned, grass can get scorched, plants can dry out, and trees can lose their leaves prematurely. We've got advice to help you, your garden, and your lawn sail through the hotter months with flying colors.
Keep Your Lawn Tidy
As the weeks tick by, the sod or grass seed you planted will grow taller than what's ideal. Eventually, it'll need some maintenance to look fresh and manicured. Keep the lawn in check with a riding lawn mower and a string trimmer to knock down any tall grass around fences, sidewalks, or buildings.
Trees, shrubs, and bushes climb toward the sun and lose their shape over time. They're growing fast, filled with buds and blooms before you know it. Trim wild branches to the size and shape you want with garden shears and hedge trimmers. It's best to leave tree topping and major tree maintenance to the pros, but you may want to use a pole saw for minor trims and a chainsaw for small trees and bushes.
Watch Your Garden Thrive
Make sure to water your garden. That's the way to keep it going between rainstorms to enjoy the summer flowering. A general rule when watering flowers and plants is to aim the water at the roots. A garden hose, sprinkler or sprinkler system, or drip irrigation system will do the job. Contrary to popular belief, the blooms themselves don't need to be watered or even misted. Many flowers wilt and droop when they get wet, but they'll recover just fine once they dry off. Succulents are the exception to basic watering rules, so look up your specific succulent varieties to optimize their care.
In addition to watering, keep an eye on your plants' nutrient intake. Apply fertilizer as recommended. We've even got fertilizers to match the types of plants you're growing so they'll get the right nutrients.
Grow Your Own Herbs
Get fresh flavors to accent your homegrown produce and spice up your mealtimes when you add herbs. They're generally low-maintenance. It's easy to learn how to grow herbs indoors, but you can raise herbs outdoors, too. If you grow herbs outdoors, stick to heat-loving herbs that'll endure the summer temperatures, and consider a hanging herb garden.
Planting herbs in the ground can be tricky, as many of them — especially mint — are invasive and will take over your lawn. To avoid a yard full of mint or other herbs, keep them in small plant pots on a sunny porch, window sill, or even in wall planters. Herbs also work as a hydroponic garden, which means they don't grow in soil. Instead, they grow in a mixture of rock chips, perlite, or sand.
Vines as Decorative Shade
Plant vines near an arched arbor or trellis so they'll climb it and give you both beauty and shade. Choose vine plants that are native to your area to attract pollinators. Grape vines are a classic choice, but they take time to mature, so you'll only be enjoying shade and not fruit for a few years. Remember to match your vine plants to how much sunlight you receive, as some like full sun and others don't. As a bonus, many vines put out sweet-smelling flowers with a delightful fragrance you can enjoy as you cool off in the shade.
