Sunday gardening tips & best practices
Garden plant growing seasons
Flowers, roses, and perennial plants: Spring to Summer*
Vegetables and herbs: Spring through Fall
Trees and shrubs: Early spring before leaf emergence until early summer before peak heat
Indoor plants: Spring through fall
*As long as plants aren’t heat or drought-stressed.
Garden plant maintenance
Weed Control: Control garden weeds to ensure nutrients are effectively used by your plants—not your weeds.
Watering: Use our garden watering guide to keep your garden adequately watered, especially after applying fertilizers.
Mulching: Apply a 2-4 inch layer of mulch for moisture retention and weed suppression.
Protect plants: To prevent spread, water plants at the base to reduce disease risk, prune diseased or dead parts, and disinfect tools after use. Protect your garden with fencing or beneficial plants, and support plants using stakes, trellises, or cages.
