may to-do's for augusta area gardeners
this is the month that gives gardeners in our
area the "fix" we need to jump start summer!
here are some things to do this month:
* get your veggie garden in
don't worry about being perfect, just do it!
* whiteflies?
insecticidal soap on gardenias,yellow sticky
paper near infested plants,any other ideas?
* stake up tomatoes
maybe put in some teepees with small clay pots on tops..
pinch off little side shoot "suckers"
* plant corn, okra, beans, cucumbers, squash, and
southern peas from seed
* buy some dahlia bulbs to plant for late summer bloom
* sign up for FlowerCamp.
September/October openings won't last.
* mid-June Pumpkin planting time.
