Mulching could be the answer to many gardening problems. It will cut down on the need for laborious weedings and cultivations and will act as a babysitter while you are on your summer vacation. “One of the main reasons gardens lose their early summer beauty is lack of water. and vacation time is the ob- vious period when your garden will be most neglected." says Ontario ministry of agriculture and food horticulturist, J.K. Hughes. Professor C.B. Kelly with the en- vironmental biology department. Ontario Agricultural College says: “A severe attack of hollyhock' rust may result in stunting. unthrifty growth. a delay in blooming, and fewer flowers." Hollyhocks are perennials that grow up to 10 feet high in good fertile soil. They have large crinkled leaves and a spike of single or double flowers in many colors, from pure white to deep scarlet. By beginning your garden mulching in the spring. the plants will be better able to withstand the intense heat of summer. Mulching involves the spreading of organic or inorganic material around the base of plants. This places a strain on the plants and results in weaker. poorer growth. Gardening Apartment dwellers and other homeowners who find growing space for gardening restricted may find hanging baskets solve the problem. Few crops â€" flowering or vegetable â€" won’t do well in hanging baskets, says ministry of agriculture and food hor- ticulturist J .K. Hughes. If your hollyhocks are becoming unsightly before their bloom is finished. with the leaves turning yellow and dropping off. they could be infected with hollyhock rust. Healthy. well-grown plants start to flower in July and will continue to bloom for a long time after. The best time to catch hollyhock rust Water is possibly the single most important requirement of a hanging basket. and the soil should be checked regularly. Products are available on Garden babysitter “Regardless of what is planted in the hanging baskets. it’s important to remember that the crop is growing in a restricted area. So these plants will require considerably more water and fertilizer than if they were growing in the ground,” he says. C's - THE LIBERAL. Wednesday.

If treatment for insects is needed. gar- deners should apply one of the recommended materials available at garden supply centers. Mulches reduce topsoil moisture loss, prevent surface crusting of the soil. and cut down on soil temperature fluc- tuations. By covering the soil un- derneath the plants and excluding light from the soil surface, weed growth can be retarded if not completely sup- pressed. is in the spring.
