It is time to start vegetable and some flowering seeds inside and petunias can be planted out doors now for some early spring color.

It is time to plant mums from now until the middle of September. Also, you can begin to plant cold crops too.

During the hot summer months, be sure to keep things watered. However, don't water in the middle of the day. Also, be sure not to over-water tomatoes.

Lime balances the PH of the soil. Fertilizers will work better, promoting healthy plants and lawns.
