TIPS TO TEND A GARDEN IN LATE SUMMER
There's plenty of work to be done in the garden come the end of summer.
As summer winds down, long
stretches of sunlight are dwindling
and cooler temperatures
are on the horizon. Gardening enthusiasts
may wonder how they can manage
their backyard gardens as the peak
growing season comes to a close.
People may not be eager to do much
in their gardens come August, particularly
because the air may be hot and
the dew point high. And spending the
final days of summer at the beach or
in the pool may take priority. However,
late summer is a great time to focus on
certain tasks.
Deadheading
Many plants look better with the wilted
flowers removed. Furthermore, some
plants, such as with lilies and roses,
will benefit from having spent blooms
removed so that no unnecessary energy
is drawn away from the roots or bulbs.
Research your plants and learn which
can benefit from some late-summer
deadheading to keep them thriving.
Weeding
Weeds can become problematic if
they're allowed to grow unabated. Routinely
go into the garden and cull the
weeds.
Keep an eye open for pests
According to Garden Smart, caterpillars
and beetles may be chewing
on garden plants by late summer, and
aphids still may be problematic. Handpick
insects off of vegetables and ornamental
flowers, or use safe sprays for
treating these issues.
Plant cool weather vegetables
Many plants will grow well when
planted in late summer, according to
Homesteading Family. Some such
plants include turnips, beets, carrots,
kale, chard, mustard greens, and peas.
You can begin turning your summer
garden, or a portion of it, into a fall
and winter garden.
Consider succession planting
Growing vegetables like beans or peas
may be more successful if you try succession
planting. This involves sowing
new seeds every seven to 10 days to extend
the harvest.
Harvesting what's ready
Pick vegetables that are ready to eat, and
remove any plants that have reached the
end of their growing cycle.
Convert planter boxes
and containers
This is a good time to start changing
over summer annuals in containers and
planter boxes to those that do well in
fall, such as mums, asters, pansies, and
goldenrod.
