I had a request to post when flowers bloom here.
Currently we are seeing the Wisteria, iris, primroses,
Columbines, pieris, red hot pokers and quince blooming.
The Clematis, hostas, poppies and peonies are starting to open.
I have had to cut back the Brugmansia due to being sunburnt
so they need to grow some before they bloom, best time to
see them bloom is the fall as we won't push them this year.
Fall/August is the time for the perennial hibiscus, they are just
popping up from the ground now.
May is the time to maintain your gardens, watering fertilizing and
deadheading. Trimming after the shrubs have bloomed.
Work on your grass, weeding and fertilizing. You don't want to
fertilize in the hot heat, water the grass and tree!!
Now it a great time to put in your veggie garden!! Feed
the soul with home grown veggies!
This is also the month that folks need to cleanup after the
fir trees drop their junk. Ya don't want to leave this on the
soil or in your potted plants.
If you are putting in a new lawn now is a great time, while it's
cooler.
After the Azaleas are done blooming it's time to clean the blooms out
and or cut them back. These need to be cut all the way back to the
soil to rejuvenate the plant ever few years. You can clean out the center
of the shrub at this time. Check for moss and diseases that can spread to
other neighbor's shrubs if you let yours go.
