Tips of the Week

  • Plant tomato and pepper transplants again. It will be beneficial to give them some shade, from official garden shade products to umbrellas and old window screens.
  • Water new trees and shrubs, with a slow drip.
  • Avoid pruning, other than cleaning up. Keep some seed heads for the wildlife that rely on them.
  • Provide water and food for the wildlife.
