Gardening To-Do List: July

In my zone 5a, my heaver feeders—hostas, delphiniums, etc.—need another blast of fertilizer. Give 'em the final blast of nitrogen before you need to ignore them so they can harden off to survive the next winter. — Kim Visokey

I'll cut off faded hydrangea blossoms—but allow a few to remain, so I can use them later for fall arrangements. — Lynn Coulter

I'll be watering with a soaker hose to prevent evaporation in the hot summer air. — Lynn Coulter

I'll refresh any mulch that's getting thin around my veggies and flowers. — Lynn Coulter
