As longý as 1 can remember <wich is not-tolong) tradi- ionally it is safe to plant ou.t your annuals with the daniger of frost almost over i. However, a word of ca!ution is in order, since thie last we had a couple of night frost after the 24th. of May s0 wAatch the weather forecast for the next several days. The best way to plant an- nuals is to make sure that the soil is well prepared. Dig over the area to be planted and add somie peatmoss and mianuire, with a few handfulls of chemnical fertilizer such as a 5- 10- 15, to build 4p a good rieh planting soil. Since most annuals vwill gel a shock wheni they are transplanted, you shouild gie he a boost by waterng îthemimmnnediately afier planîfing wýith a starter fertilizer sc as PLANT- AID, this will stimulate the root system and get them tarted right away. With the flowvering an- nutals, il will help to remove the flowers after transpian- ting-, ince this wýill let aIl the strenigth go righit into thie developmnent of the plant. This of coursFe is not a mIle that has to be followed since I also lîke to see the flowers on the p lant, but for faster growÀIith his will be helpful. Due to the hot weather a lot of plants are taîl and sîr- ingy especially the tomato plants and a simple solution is to take off a Ihird of the j 'Me Fashiogns Main St., Orono Phone 8o 94 The latest in fashions for al times and ail needs growth which will make them, bush oui and -develop into a fuller plant. Belore you plant make sure that the right plants go into the right spots. The shady plants should go into the shad such as Impai- tients, Fibrous and tuberous begonias and the sun loving plants such as the petunias and the marigolds should get aleast a hallf a day of' suni. Planters should have the old soif removed from lasi year and then a poîting mix of haîf« potting soif and haîf weil composted manure mixed together and then placed in the planter. This will give you an excellent growing medium. Th e manure will feed the plants right through the summer and a monîhly f'eedling of a liquid plant food will give you a dazzling lush display of colour. With the bot weather the tent capterpillar has -already appeared making tents and preparing to destroy your treces by eating aIllthe leavecs. Now is' the time to get rid of themn before lhey becomne adult suze. In some cases you can r-emove the tent wýith a stick and (then burn themn. Do this early lin the mornîng or after the sun bas gone down when the return to their nest for warmth. The reason for burning the twigs where they made their tents is the fact that the eggs which, over- wintered fromt last year will still -hatch for several weeks to come. Another etff-ective way is to spray them with Sevin, which can be-applied as a spray or a dust. Some cedar hedges have not come through the winter as welI as usual, due to the severe cold during the last three moîîths. The best lime to give ihem a helping hand is right nowý. By applying a product called Cedar Feeder. This cani be directly applied to the foliage with a sprayer or a watering can 'nd will brinlg outIlthe lush green colour and ini îurn will start the growing proces Until Next We'ek, IHappy Gardening. ~GO Propane îs a wonder- dT C9 fully convenlent fuel ' N S lbr cottagers, canprs and backyard barbequers.
