SUMMER CHECK LIST
****GARDENERS WORKING OUTSIDE MAY LOSE UP TO 2 QUARTS OF WATER EACH HOUR.
1. Planting : Continue to plant warm season bedding plants. These include coleus, periwinkle, blue daze, melampodium and begonias. Lantanas can still be planted. They thrive in Louisiana's hot summers.
2. Watering : When irrigating, water the soil area thoroughly. Try to irrigate less often, but irrigate well each time.
3. Pruning & Trellising : Prune azaleas no later than mid-July. Pruning azaleas after early to midsummer may remove next season's developing flower buds, This applies to most spring flowering shrubs as well as hydrangeas and gardenias. Louisiana irises are semi-dormant in the late summer. Prune off seedpods and yellow or brown foliage to help keep the plants more attractive. Cut faded flowers from annuals and perennials to encourage new growth and flower production. Finish any pruning you may need to do to shrubs in the landscape, particularly those that bloom in winter or spring. Pruning after June may interfere with flowering.
4. Insect and Disease Scouting : Control thrips, aphids, cucumber beetles and spider mites on roses by using a recommended insecticide or miticide. Also continue black spot control by using a fungicide at seven to ten day intervals. In early summer gardenias may have aphids or whiteflies and the associated black sooty mold. For optimum plant preformance, control the insects with Orthene or a summer horticultural oil spray.
5. Creating an attractive, colorful look with bedding plants is easier than ever, but it's a good idea to do a little thinking and planning before you go to the nursery. Here are some basic guidelines for using color in the landscape. Combine cool colors together and warm colors together for reliably harmonious results. Use color where you want to focus attention, such as at your front door. Generally, reduce the number of colors you use for best results. In other words , use the colors you like in combinations that you like, but don't use every color you like at the same time in the same bed.
6. Camellias and azales need care to set a good crop of flower buds for next year. Healthy, vigorous plants will set buds, but weak plants may not. If plants lack vigor, fertilize them, provide moisture during stressful periods and control pest. Remember that these acid loving plants need a pH of 5.5. Submit a soil sample to your parish LSU AgCenter extension agent's office if you are unsure of your soil situation.
