Make your lawn strong for summer!
The end of May and the early part of June is a great time to prepare your lawn for the summer heat and heavy growing period from late June through mid-September. Your lawn will need regular watering during the early morning hours until it feels wet to touch from the surface down about 3-6 inches along with regular mowing at the right height for your specific species of grass. The water and regular mowing helps to strengthen the root growth of your lawn and the deeper the roots grow the better it will handle the high temperatures of summer. When you combine this with weed control and proper fertilization you will be set up for success and a lawn to be proud of all summer long. This time of year, it is recommended for overseeding your lawn to fill in thin and bare spots in the lawn as well in North Carolina.
June is coming fast!
The ground is tilled, the soil prepared, mulch is spread and it’s time for the next round of plantings. June is known for peas and peppers of all kinds especially serrano, Jalapeno, and bell peppers, along with sweet potato, string beans and tomatoes to name a few. Then you can watch nature work its miracle as they begin to grow and bear their bounty for us to harvest all season long. Just as important is your flower beds and creating a renewal for full sun annuals and perennials plus the summer bulbs, like dwarf Dhalia, Black Eyed Susans, Mixed tall Cana, Hosta and the like. Summer can be exciting and full of life, don’t let its beauty pass you by! Even my Lab Bella loves the flowers of summer and even shares their beauty with a butterfly.
