JULY TO DO LIST

 

  • Pinch vine ends on indeterminate or heirloom tomatoes; not bush tomatoes.
  • Mound soil around base of potatoes.
  • Watch for spider mites on ornamental evergreens such as spruce and arborvitae.
  • Weed and fertilize rhubarb and asparagus beds, and water deeply to develop roots for next year's crop.
  • Look for signs of Tomato Hornworms, control with Bacillus thuringiensis.

 

WATER TIPS
