Tips for the Garden

There are several things you can do to help your garden be more productive.

Here are a couple of ideas: Keep your garden weed-free. Weeds steal water, nutrition, light, and elbow room from your plants. Weeds can overtake your garden in no time. We will cover weed control in a future post.

"Deadhead" your flowers. Pinch off old blooms. Flowers that are deadheaded will produce more blooms and look better (compare the top flower picture to the second picture). Deadheading takes just a few minutes if done regularly.
Pick ripe vegetables from your garden plants. Just like deadheading a flower,
picking ripe vegetables keeps your plant producing.
