When you water, water well! Once the heat of summer comes on, it’s the time that your prized plants need a little extra attention. Newly planted plants will not appreciate the hot summer sun and would prefer to be kept moist throughout the hot days. Hand water plants slowly directly into their roots and let soak then come back and water again to be sure the water is getting into the root system. ⠀ ⠀ New planting may need water daily in the summer months so keep an eye on the newbies. Older plants need less frequent watering and are better at surviving drought so focus on your edibles and newbies and all will thrive into the fall.⠀ ⠀ For more August #gardentips, visit our blog!

The goal is to not let them go to seed.⠀ ⠀ More #august #gardentips on our latest blog post!
