It’s time to get inspired and get your hands dirty outside. One of the most affirming and enjoyable things

about gardening is the fact that we keep getting another chance to get it right. If a planting fails just pull

it up and re-plant. Each season is a new chance to learn, experiment and gain expertise. With the right

knowledge and seeds, anyone can successfully put his or her green thumb to work. Use this Summer

edition gardening guide to assist in achieving your warm season gardening goals.

1. Planning, Planning, PlanningDevelop a garden plan for the coming season, both short

and longer term. Know what it is you want to do before

digging - what goes where and why.

2. Prepare Your Soil - Build On a Good FoundationSoil is the foundation of any garden. Creating a hospitable

home by matching the plant to the soil is the first essential

step in successful landscapes and gardens. To find out the

pH level and what nutrients your soil might be lacking,

consider a soil test. Soil testing kits can be purchased from

your local nursery.

There are two basic ways to improve your soil: Buy or make

compost to add to the soil you have, or buy a soil mix. Build

up your soil with a few inches of compost and whatever

nutrients it may be lacking before planting.

3. Ensure Good Drainage In Central Texas, it seems to be feast or famine when it

comes to rainfall. Plant roots need oxygen and hate to sit in

waterlogged soil. Creating raised beds with drains in garden

boarders can ensure good drainage when the rain keeps

coming. Also, creating an underground gravel soakway or

French drain system are easy “do-it-yourself” projects that

will lead the water outside of your soaked areas.

4. Select the Right Sunspots for PlantingMatching the right sun-exposed spots for planting with your

garden variety is very important. Some plants worship the

sun more than others. For example, fruit-bearing vegetables

like tomatoes and peppers require at least six hours of sun

a day, while leafy vegetables like lettuce or spinach can

tolerate moderate shade. Always take the instructions on

your seed packets and transplant packages seriously. Those

instructions will almost always give guidance on what

amount of light is needed for your plants to grow.

5. Plant What Works in TexasPlant your garden realistically with seeds and transplants

based on plant varieties that are proven to work. Native

plants belong here; they thrive with minimal care and provide

habitat for local wildlife. A list of native and adaptable plants

is available on page 5. These plants are proven to have

flourished in our Texas climate. Incorporate them into your

landscape for a garden style with a sense of place.

6. Timing is Everything!For everything there is a season. This is very true for

gardening since in most cases, there is a small window of

time to plant that will ensure successful growth. A good

example of plants that need to go in the ground right

before the spring season starts are bare root plants such

as roses, fruit trees and shrubs, and several perennials

including hosta and daylilies. They have a waxy coating

on their stems to prevent drying out. That needs time to

wear off before summer sets in and it gets too hot. See the

Gardening Tips by Month section on pages 3-4 to see what

to plant and when during the spring season.

7. Your Plants Have to Eat Too!Make a fertilizing schedule: Vegetables and flowering • annuals monthly; trees and shrubs twice a year; lawns

every 10-12 weeks.

Weeds will invade a garden that is suffering from lack of • moisture. A thorough, deep soaking of the lawn every

week is better than frequent, light watering.

8. Watch Out for Invasions!Be aware of what’s going on in your garden and lawn.

Keep an eye on plants for evidence of insect damage and

moisture. Pest and disease problems left to reach epidemic

levels are much more difficult to control, and by the time

you do something there may not be much crop left to save.

For more information about pest and weed control options,

consult your local nursery for products and advice.

9. Resist the Urge to OverplantInspiration can easily take us by storm, but resist the urge

to overplant and bite off more than you can chew. When

planting your new garden, consider what you actually have

time to maintain. Most plants put in the ground or even in

a pot will require labor on your part.

10. The More You Know, The More You’ll GrowLearn about the plants you grow. The more you learn, the

more economical and enjoyable gardening will become.

Consider taking the Master Gardener class in your county.

You should learn about which plants do well in

your specific environment and climate zone and

not try to “push the limit” of plant tolerances.

Follow these tips and tricks this season in insure a healthy and lovely garden and landscape.

Salvias, Santolina, Sedum

Hot, dry summer weather is extremely critical for • certain plants. Provide supplemental water for plants

such as Hydrangeas, Coleus, Caladium, Geranium,

Dahlia, Azalea, and Camellia.

Spider mite is especially troublesome during the hot • summer months. Continue to check for all summer

insects and diseases.

Be on the lookout for powdery mildew on Crape Myrtle, • Zinne, Photinia, and Euonymus, as well as many other

plants.

This is a great time to transplant grown Bearded Irises. • They may be transplanted anytime from mid-June until

later summer.

To keep hanging baskets and container plants looking • attractive in summer heat: soak the baskets in a tub of water

every few days in addition to the regular daily watering and

fertilizing. Never apply fertilizer to dry plants.

To encourage new growth of aging annuals such as • Petunias, fertilize, water and then prune them once they

become tall and leggy.

Harvest vegetables often to ensure continual production.•

Lawn maintenance tip for summer heat: Mow your lawn • high to avoid moisture loss. Also check your lawn mower

blade. Dull blades can cause a brownish discoloration of

the stems and leaves shortly after cutting. With the arrival of

hot weather, you may want to raise the mower blade to the

highest setting.

WHAT TO PLANT IN JUNE:

Summer is when you really appreciate your garden. Your job now is to keep your plants and flowers looking their best and enjoying what you’ve grown. By June, your garden should be in full swing. You’ll be starting to harvest all of those veggies you planted in the spring. Enjoy the fruits of your labor!

Page 5: Your Gardening Fun in the Sun Starts Herecdn1.media.zp-cdn.com/64379/Summer-Guide-to-Texas...• Start your own compost pile and be ready to collect the leaves as they drop this fall

Keep a close check on recently planted landscape plants. • Inadequate root system and drought can be damaging.

Watch for and apply early control for summer insects and • disease to prevent build-up and spread.

Check Azaleas and Camellias for iron chrlorosis (pale green • leaves, darker green veins). If necessary, use copperas or iron

chelate to correct iron deficiency.

Early blooming mums can take one last pinch by mid-July. • Those blooming late in the fall can be given one additional

pinch the end of July.

Check Junipers and Marigolds for red spider mite. Hold • a sheet of white paper below a branch with brown,

discolored foliage and tap the branch sharply. If the dirt

specks start to move, you can be almost certain you have

spider mites.

Divide spring and early summer perennials including • Daffodils, Daylilies, Iris, etc., and replant the best clumps.

Discard the diseased or damage of material, and share any

surplus with friends.

Beat the heat by try doing some low energy garden • decorating like pruning off dead limbs. Add yard art such

as a birdbath or feeder, a small disappearing fountain, or

perhaps a pink flamingo.

Lawn maintenance tip for summer heat: • use only sprinklers that spray the least amount of water

into the air: This will help lessen the amount of evaporation.

GARDENING AND LANDSCAPING TIPS BY MONTH

Page 6: Your Gardening Fun in the Sun Starts Herecdn1.media.zp-cdn.com/64379/Summer-Guide-to-Texas...• Start your own compost pile and be ready to collect the leaves as they drop this fall

Water is the best fertilizer during this time of the year. • Despite higher water bills, remember to soak frequently,

thoroughly, and deeply.

Make a second application of chinch bug control early • this month, if needed.

Start your own compost pile and be ready to collect the • leaves as they drop this fall. Speed up decomposition

by keeping the pile moist.

Don’t forget to mulch! If you haven’t done so already, be • sure all bare soil is covered with mulch, or compost with

mulch on top. Avoid putting mulch or compost onto

plant stems. Use about three inches total wherever

possible. A layer of mulch will help prevent the

germination of many weed seeds, reducing the need

for cultivation or the use of herbicides. Mulches also

help moderate the soil temperature and retain moisture

during dry weather, reducing the need for watering.

Vegetable Seeds:

Beans, Corn, Cucumber, Garlic, Potato, Shallot,

Summer Squash

Plant the following vegetable seeds in pots or flats:

Give them bright sun, but perhaps some shade from the

hottest afternoon sun: Broccoli, Brussels Sprouts, Cauliflower,

Chard, Chinese Cabbage, Fennel, Kale

Vegetable Plants:

Okra, New Zealand or Malabar Spinach, Summer or

Winter Squash

Plant Herbs: Mexican Mint Marigold, Mints, Oregano,

Rosemary, Sage, Wormwood

Annual Flower/Ornamental Seeds:

Balsam, Candlestick Tree, Castor Bean, Celosia, Cleome,

Coreopsis, Cosmos, Four O’clock, Gomphrena, Gourd,

Marigold, Moonflower, Morning Glory, Scaevola, Sunflower,

Zinnia

Annual Flower/Ornamental Plants: Blue Daze, Celosias, Zinnia

Perennial Plants: Ornamental Grasses, Sedum

The heat is on, but don’t worry, your garden is hardier than you think and there are plenty of gardening tasks for August that will keep your flower and vegetable gardens going longer, as well as opportunities to get a head start on next year’s garden.
