When to prune Flowering Shrubs....
We sometimes wish to prune flowering shrubs in order to shape them or keep them within certain bounds. But we worry that we'll miss out on this year's blossoms if we prune at the incorrect time. Here's the general rule of thumb to know when to prune a particular plant.

If you are undertaking a routine pruning, observe the shrubs' blooming habits. For shrubs that bloom in summer or fall on the current year's growth, such as Beautyberry , prune in late winter or early spring. For shrubs that bloom in spring on last year's growth (e.g., forsythia), prune after their blooms begin to die.

If you are pruning flowering shrubs to rejuvenate them, the best time to prune is late winter or early spring. True, pruning early-flowering shrubs at this time will reduce or eliminate blossoming in spring that year, but the trade-off is in gaining healthier, more vigorous flowering shrubs for the long run.

Why Is August So Important?

The month of August is stressful on your lawn. We have a lot going on during this time including heat, lack of rain, insect infestation (both above and below ground) and fungus issues. All of these are attacking your turf and giving it the one-two-three punch. In addition, there is a host of summer w**ds that creep in during the summer and some of them can literally thin out your lawn.

What To Do For Your Lawn In August

There are several primary tasks you need to accomplish during the month, so many in fact that I need to break them down into a series of articles. However, there are some basics that will set the foundation and those are:

Mow Tall – I say it all the time, but in August it is more important than ever. The heat that beats down on the lawn will dry it out quickly, even if you water. If you keep the lawn tall, it will shade the root system and keep a lot of the moisture in.

Irrigate Regularly – I want your lawn to stay green and that means you need to water. I only need you to water the lawn 2 or 3 times per week for an hour in each zone. That won’t run up your water bill too much but will keep the lawn growing properly.

If you set this foundation in August, then the rest is pretty simple. There is a lot to get accomplished, but most of it can be done this weekend. Follow along in the next article and see what else you need to do for your lawn in August.

Tip.........

Dried leaves and spent blooms do not belong to a beautiful garden and for that reason you should remove or cut back all dead leaves and dead flowers on your perennials. This will not only improve the appearance of your flower garden but will encourage new growth and sometimes even a second blooming. However, do not rush with cutting back. Remove the leaves only when they are yellowish-brown and dried. If you want your perennials to produce seeds you should wait with cutting back until the blooms are completely dry. Invasive perennials, on the other hand, should be cut back as soon as possible.
