Frequently Asked Questions About Gardening

What do I do about all these weeds?

Weeds are likely poking through in the garden beds, even if you put down a landscape liner fabric or mulch to keep them at bay. Be sure to get them before the weeds' flowers dry out and drop their seeds. Pull weeds from the root in vegetable gardens, and dig up the roots if the weed snapped off without them. If you choose to treat weeds with weed killer, find one that's safe for pollinators and pets — and wear thick rubber gloves and a respirator to ensure that it doesn't touch your lungs or skin.

Is brown grass dead?

It could be, but it's likely just taking a break during those sizzling temps. Cool-season grass goes dormant in the summer. It turns brown and crispy, but isn't usually dead. You can check to verify 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 and infrequently. 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.

How often should I water my garden?

If you can water close to sunrise or sunset, that's ideal. Watering during the heat of the day means a lot of the moisture will evaporate. This applies to whatever you're growing: gardens, trees, lawns, and flowers. Whenever you water, give all the plants a good drink, and don't skip it when it's not the perfect time. The plants still need water to live, no matter what time it is. Depending on your grass type, climate, and lawn health, 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 a synthetic or an organic 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 flower fertilizer, vegetable fertilizer, citrus tree fertilizer, or general garden fertilizer blend. Only apply as often as recommended on the packaging. 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 the heat, shelter beneath 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 an uncomfortable afternoon into a relaxing day. Return to lounging in the sun when that water-cooled air is ready.

How do I entertain on the patio?

Backyard entertaining is whatever you'd like it to be — it doesn't have to be a barbecue party. If you're planning on firing up the grill, make sure you know how to clean a grill when you're done. Many people simply relax outdoors and chat away the afternoon or maybe cook a meal in an outdoor kitchen. However you bond with friends, 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. Just like we can get sunburned, grass and plants can dry out, and trees can lose their leaves prematurely. We've got advice to help you, your lawn, and your garden sail through the hotter months with flying colors.

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 push lawn mower and a string trimmer to knock down any tall grass around fences, sidewalks, or buildings.

Bushes, shrubs, and trees climb toward the sun and lose their shape over time. They're growing fast, filled with buds before you know it. Trim wild branches to the 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 branches on trees and bushes.

Care for Your Trees and Shrubs
When you're watering your vegetable garden, don't forget about the shrubs and trees. They may need less watering than summer flowers or vegetable plants, but they can still get dry and parched in the summer heat. It's not hard to learn how to water trees and shrubs — just make sure you aim the water at the roots. It'll help prolong the greenery and keep it from turning brown or yellow. Also, check for damage on your trees and shrubs. Pests can destroy your greenery.

Look for holes in leaves, spots on bark or leaves, or a network of raised lines on the bark that look like artistic decoration. When your leaves look like lace, something is eating them. Spots may indicate a number of issues ranging from bugs to fungus. Those scar-like lines on tree bark could mean your tree is infected with borers, which are insects that lay eggs inside the bark and then burrow out after they hatch. Any of these issues should be researched and cared for as soon as possible, as they may ultimately end the life of your tree.

Grow Your Own Herbs
Get fresh flavors to spice up your mealtimes and accent your homegrown produce with herb gardening. They're generally low-maintenance. It's easy to learn how to grow herbs indoors, but you can raise them outside, too. If you grow herbs outdoors, stick to heat-loving herbs that'll thrive in 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. So just keep them in small plant pots on a sunny window sill, porch, 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
Set up vines to climb an arched arbor or trellis to provide both shade and beauty. Vine plants that are native to your area are a good choice for success and attract pollinators. Wisteria, jasmine, and ivy are common options for creating a stunning pathway. 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, so you can enjoy a delightful fragrance as you cool off in the shade.
