Garden Maintenance: This month brings many of the same tasks as previous months:
Weed – get them while they are still relatively small, they will only get bigger and more tenacious.
Mulch only if you have to. Planting ground covers helps prevent intrusive weeds in bare spots.
Deadhead to prevent the formation of seeds that will take the energy from the plant’s growth. However, if you want the fruit and seeds for winter interest, keep them on.
Remove poorly located “volunteers” to better locations or share them, if they are not invasive.
