H U i H I Prune spring-
bloom
ing shrubs by m
id-
month, before they form
next
spring’s flower buds. It’s
perfectly fine to prune seed
pods from
lilacs,
above,
if you
find
them
unattractive, but it’s
not necessary.
jU U -L ll Ifyou’re
among
the many who
planted
new
fruit
trees or berries this spring, be
sure to
keep
them
watered
during
dry spells. A
soaker ball,
above,
or a nozzle set for very
slow
flow
w
ill let water reach
the roots w
ithout running
off.
W e s i It’s a long
summer,
and
a few
flowers w
ill fail in
the
heat. Fill those gaps w
ith
plants
that w
ill look great from
now
into
fall: celosia,
above,
annual
vinca, petunias, and
zinnias.
G
ive new
plants a little
extra
attention
until established.
