Deadhead bulbs for continuous blooming
Maximize the potential of your spring-flowering bulbs by carefully eliminating faded blossoms. This practice stimulates the plants to divert their energy towards energy storage rather than seed production.
Choose summer annuals
Shop for summer annuals, such as petunias, impatiens, and zinnias, ensuring that the chosen plants are not yet in bloom. Opt for flowers that exhibit vigorous growth and robust foliage, as this indicates their potential for stronger performance once they bloom.
Plant warm-season vegetables
Seize the opportunity to transplant seedlings of warm-season crops. Consider nurturing young plants of tomatoes, peppers, and an array of aromatic herbs. you cultivate a bountiful garden that thrives with a diverse range of delectable and flavorful produce.
Plant summer blooming bulbs
