Grading the lawn to provide surface lawn drainage is the next step: Professor Waywell suggests cultivating only after the weeds begin to die.

Both herbicides are absorbed through the leaves, with little effect through the soil.

V The more flowers you pick, the more the plant will produce. Annuals give you most color with least effort These plants reproduce themselves only by seed. They don’t have to use their energies to strengthen roots to survive over winter. They keep blooming to produce as much seed as possible in a season. The best thing about annuals is the fact they bloom continuously all summer. Annuals are also ideal for container gardening. They can just be discarded when frost comes and its time to store the containers. Use them {0 edge a 'perennial garden, for lots of col_orful bloom ag the front of the garden. Though annuals. as their name implies, only last one summer they have a number of useful functions. They reach their full growth in a season, so they’re ideal for filling up bare spots in the garden quickly. Plant them around a young shrub that won’t fill up its allotted space this year.

And when you go to garden centres and nurseries to buy your seedlings, there are a few things to keep in mS-ul mind We seem to have had a lot rotâ€"Wind this spring and very little rain, so if these conditions persist, make sure to water regularly. Don't allow tender annual seedlings to dry out too severely. Even if they survive, they‘ll need most of the rest of the summer to recuperate, and won't produce as much liloom as they should. You will, of course, have made sure the bed the plants are to be set into has loose, rich soil. If it hasn‘t, correct this by adding peat moss, sand, well-rotted manurqand top soil. Pirich the tops out of4any gingle-stemmed annuals so they branch out and get bushier, with more flower- producing stems. When plahting. soak the seedlith with a transplant solution. This will get them off to a good, healthy start and_ get them blooming early.
