Frequently Asked Questions About Your Store
What do I do about all these weeds?
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 weeds from the root in vegetable or edible flower gardens, and dig up the roots if the weed snapped off at ground level. Be sure to get them before the weeds' flowers dry out and drop their seeds. If you'd like to treat weeds with weed killer, check that it's safe for pollinators and pets — and wear a respirator and heavy rubber gloves to ensure that it doesn't touch your lungs or your skin.
Is crispy grass dead?
It could be, but it's also likely taking a nap during those summer temperatures. Cool-season grass goes dormant in the summer, so it's alive but sleeping. You can check on it though: If you can easily pull out a blade of grass with no resistance, it's time to plant new seed or sod because the grass is a goner. Water dormant lawns deeply once every week. Warm-season lawns need water every few days in the summer. Those lawns stay green if they're healthy. We have the lawn care you need for healthy warm-season and cool-season grass.
Is there an ideal time to water my garden?
If you can water close to sunrise or sunset, that's ideal. Watering when the sun is at its peak means much of the moisture will evaporate. This applies to whatever you're growing: trees, grass, plants, and veggies. Whenever you water, give all the plants a thorough drink, and don't skip it just because it's not the ideal time. The plants still need hydration, no matter what time it is. Depending on your grass type, lawn health, and climate, you may also want to look into adding a lawn fertilizer.
Should I fertilize my plants?
Once you've got your plants into pots or 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 that's formulated for your plants, whether you need a vegetable fertilizer, fruit tree fertilizer, succulent plant food, or a general garden fertilizer. Only apply as often as recommended on the packaging. Remember to always water immediately after, as directed, so 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 covered gazebo or patio umbrella. If you have sturdy structures like a house or a shed, make your own shade by attaching shade sails and awnings. But sometimes shade isn't enough because it's just too humid out. That's when a misting fan or patio mister can help cool the air and turn a stifling afternoon into a relaxing day. Go back to lounging in the sun when that water-chilled air is ready.
What do you carry for backyard entertaining?
Backyard entertaining doesn't have to be a barbeque party. If you're focused on firing up the grill, make certain you know how to clean a grill afterward. Many people relax outdoors or cook a meal together in an outdoor kitchen. However you bond, extend the fun into the evening with proper outdoor lighting and a bug-free yard without pesky mosquitos.

Celebrate Summertime Gardening
As summer stretches on, your garden and landscaping will weather more sun than earlier in the season. That means you'll need to consider how to keep things cool with shade, irrigation, and proper tending. You might also need ways to beat the heat. We can help. At The Home Depot E Hanover Garden Center, we've got what you need to make the most of summer.
Keep Your Lawn Tidy
As the weeks tick by, the grass seed or sod you planted will grow taller than what's ideal. Eventually, it'll need some maintenance to look manicured and fresh. Keep the lawn in check with a riding lawn mower and a string trimmer to knock down any tall grass around sidewalks, fences, or buildings.
Bushes, shrubs, and trees climb toward the sun and lose their shape over time. In the summer, they'll be growing fast, filled with buds before you know it. Prune them back to a more manicured state with garden shears and hedge trimmers. It's best to leave major tree maintenance and tree topping to the pros, but you may want to use a pole saw for minor trims and a chainsaw for small bushes and trees.
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 can get the job done. You don't need to water or even mist the blooms themselves. Many flowers wilt when they get wet, but they’ll recover once they dry off. Succulents are, of course, 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 the nutrients your plants are getting. 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.
Vertical Edible Gardening
Grow produce vertically for a smart use of space. Many veggie plants are vines and well-suited to climb a fence or trellis, so plant them next to one. The key to success is supporting the stem, fruit, and branches. This is so the weight of the plant doesn't snap the the stem or branches Fasten the plant to a trellis, fence, or pole with string, plant ties and wires, garden wire, or fabric strips. Be sure to attach each plant loosely. Then, the stem has room to grow wider and the branches and leaves can sway in the breeze.
Cucumbers, watermelon, strawberries, and tomatoes need support as they bear fruit. Melons and squash require hammocks made of string, a sling, old nylons, or other stretchy fabric to support the weighty produce. All of these plants take up less space on the ground this way, which allows you to fit even more plants or have walking room in between.
Vines as Decorative Shade
Plant vines near an arched arbor or trellis so they'll climb it and give you both shade and beauty. Go with vine plants that are native to your area. They're a good choice for success and attract pollinators. Grape vines are a classic choice, but they take time to mature, so you'll enjoy dappled shade but no grapes for a few years. Remember to match your vine plants to how much sunlight you receive, as not all of them thrive in full sun. As a bonus, many vines put out sweet-smelling flowers with a delightful fragrance you can enjoy as you cool off in the shade.
