MAY TO DO LIST
- Plant dahlias and cannas after last frost.
- Plant chrysanthemums for fall color.
- Fertilize roses; watch for powdery mildew and black spot.

WATER TIPS
Apply 1-2 inches of organic mulch between flowers to retain mositure and control weeds; add organic matter.
If you do not have an automatic sprinkler system, water your trees witha bubbler at the end of a hose at a low rate, at several locations beyond the drip line.
Delay pruning at lest two weeks before the last spring frost.
