Where has all the color gone? This is an oft repeated question when viewâ€" ing many midâ€"season gardens. As August begins, many perennial gardens lack color masses. Hollyhocks, late shastas, lilies, hostas, and achillia are in flower and supply a few highlights. An exception is the St. Jude‘s Church east border which is rare sight. It is planted as a yellow area with accent touches of blue. The yellow yarrow ‘Coronation Gold‘ anchors the scheme with coreopsis, heliopsis, golden flax, and rudbeckia, and supporting players. St. Jude‘s is in downtown Oakville at William and Thomas Streets. Walk along Robinson Street and note the colorful rock garden around Knox Presbyvterian Church.

This will allow air circulation and reduce the risk of mildew and give larger berries. During the summer, remove the tips at about the fiveâ€"feet level. This will cause branching. If wilt is noted on the top of the cane, look for the cane borer. RASPBERRIES The raspberries have been prolific this year. As the fruiting branches cease bearing, cut them off at the ground level. A larger fall crop may be obtained on the everbearing varieties by cutting all the canes to the ground after fall harvest. There will be no old branches to fruit in the spring, but the fall harvest will be larger. $44 204 Ssavings \Rs) > 20 OUC UOU GOU OOO JOX OX )O¢ MCM $119900 $169900 ne bedroom suites starting from §] LAKESHORE RD Sales Office open: Mon.â€"Fri. 26 p.m. Sat.â€"Sun. 125 p.m. 221 Robinson call: Wendi Martin or Carol Keen a 416â€"338â€"0737 416â€"338â€"9000 Strawberries have fruited and are sending out runners.

[ | Two bedroom suites starting from REAMNK aboulCec‘ree ~;':w la d. x OV At the Annual Delphinium Club meeting, one of the suggestion made was to add one ounce of copper sulâ€" phate to a gallon of water and sprinkle this around the delphinium root every two weeks from early spring until the spikes are threeâ€"feet high. Saucers of beer or soft drink if set level with the ground will attract slugs and snails. They fall in and are drowned. The beer needs replacing every few days. This is a good experiâ€" ment at the end of a pool party using up left over beer or pop. The warm dry weather has slowed down the slugs, but they have managed to crawl over the sharp gravel I put around the seedlings and have eaten the delphinium seedlings to the ground. A few have a stem left. Their roots may pull through. I noticed some dahlias planted out in another garden, and they had considerable damage. These are another slug favorite. plants that have shocking pink flowers. They produce a little fruit throughout the summer, but shoot out long runners carrying several plants each. One that is in a planter has sent out several runâ€" ners fourâ€"feet long to the other end of the planter. These are hazardous in the garden if left to roam. These plants are recommended for container, or planters, or as a ground cover. If you have one, keep your eye on it or it will take over. August is the time to start lawn renâ€" »vation projects.
