Use a fertilîzer that does not burn and that contains a long lasting nitrogen fertîlizer, such as uerea, or the sulphur coated types. This may by a good time to combine a weed killer and fertilizer ta dlean up any weeds such 'as the dandelions and other weeds. What can be planted at this time of the year . . . Most garden centre's have still a good supply of boxplants and geraniums, these can still be planted to give you the color where you need it, it would be wise to give the plants a liquid fertilizer so that they are off to a good start. Almost all nurser good start. Almost ail nursery evergreen and trees can still be transplanted, since the majority of plants are in a container, or havé a baîl of earth, since the majority of earth, again give them some liquid plant food and water them in thoroughly, then water at least once a week for haîf hour or more. How long should my grass he in the summer ... tn the heat of the summer the grass should be left at least one and a haîf to two inches, to prevent the sun to scorch the soil and the tender grass roots, this extra length will act as an insulator. Make sure that the lawn mower blade is sharp, so it will cut the grass, rather than tear. Mycedar hedge is turning brown, what can we do... there can be several reasons for this, the first one is insects, such as the red spider mite and other insects, the other reason can be lack of plant food. Depending on the degree of yellowing or browning, it can also be the natural shedding of the leaves or foliage. To test for insects, take a white piece of paper and hold it under some of the foliage and shake the branches, and likely you will see the insects on thé paper. Spray the hedge wîth .a systemnic insecticide in combination with a liquid evergreen plant food wbich can be applied at the same time,- repeat* three times during the season, but not after the first of September when the hedge will start to gradually slow down in its growth, when the colder weather starts. What can be done witb weeds ini my patio ... if the patio is surrounded by shrubs and lawns, use a weedkiller that becomes inactive when it comes in contact with the soil, otherwise you can have a lot of damage when the ramn carnies it into the soil where the shrubs and lawns are, if your patio is in the open with no plants or, lawns then use a weedkiller that is a soul sterilant, which will give you longer control. Sbould geranium and other annual flower beads be cut off when finished... yes, this will look better and the plant wîll be able to use the extra sap for new growth, and will give it the chance to produce another crop of flowers, 1 might add that it will be beneficial to give the annual plants a feeding of liquid plant, food every two weeks, especially the annuals that are in planters. Until next week, happy gardening.
