This has been a very different Spring and Early Summer in a lot of ways. We are still seeing aphids, usually heavy in March were nowhere to be found, Orchid trees, hibiscus, and other tropicals are sloughing foliage like they normally would in mid Spring. Due to the fact that they froze heavily and leafed out late, the process of losing old foliage,there was none, is much delayed. Palm bud worms are showing up inside house. I haven’t seen these in a while. Bud worms are a white grub looking worm with a slight tinge of pink in them. They feed on palm blooms and buds and as the wind blows or the palms get trimmed the worms are displaced. They look for anything fibrous they can to replicate palm fibers to spin their cocoon out of. Drapes, carpet, patio furniture and the like will do for them. Cutter bees are doing their best to make your rose bushes look like Swiss cheese. The nest building bee does no permanent harm to your plant and no treatment is recommended.
Watering practices in extreme heat are a little different. We often tell people when it is over 110 throw your watering schedule out the window. You must check plants almost daily to insure that damage does not occur. With high temps and wind foliage can be damaged very fast. Apply mulches, water very slow and long (hours not minutes) and check soil moisture regularly! We have a great watering guideline called “landscape watering by the numbers” available free in store or you can get it on our website-www.harpersnurseries.com.
Stay tuned as the signs of the monsoon are appearing and that will change what we’re seeing in the garden

It’s Not Even A Dry Heat Is It?
Subscribe to Our Newsletter!
As We Continue To Celebrate Our 66th Anniversary This Month:

  • June has surprised us with just a handful of 100 degree days so far
  • We are seeing garden pests normally associated with early spring. Aphids,caterpillars,mites,etc. Be sure to check your garden regularly
  • Fruit and vegetable ripening is somewhat delayed by the cooler weather, but as it does be sure to protect from birds. Netting is the most effective method
  • Summer lawns are a bit slow to green up and the transition from winter to summer lawns is slow. Be sure to mow short, dethatch, and fertilize to speed up the transition.
  • Those dead spots may be poor sprinkler coverage or Pearl Scale. Bring a sample in to us including roots for diagnosis of pearl scale. Check sprinkler heads for coverage. I know from personal experience i generally have to replace a nozzle or two every year.
  • Be sure to paint the trunks of new trees, especially citrus and fruit trees, and those that were pruned severely due to freeze damage. Sun burn will occur and can damage or kill those trees.Go Natural tree paint is my first choice.
  • The most cost effective way to save on cooling bills is by shading windows-Plant A Tree!, How bout planting a tree for Father’s day!
  • Now is the time to convert from grass to xeriscape. Summer is the most effective time to kill grasses as it is actively growing. Harpers can come out and give you a FREE evaluation on how you can change the look of your landscape!

Prepare Your Garden For Warm Weather
 
We have our a/around checked out, we service our car before we head out on that road trip. Do you do anything to prepare your landscape for the upcoming hot weather? Most of us do not. Here is a list you might consider doing before the heat sets in.
Check your sprinkler system. Make sure the clock/timer is working properly. Run all the valves and be sure water is coming out of places is should be and putting it on places it should be. Change the back up battery in your timer.Adjust your frequency and duration accordingly.
Mulch,Mulch,Mulch. Adding mulch around trees,shrubs,flowers,vegetables,roses,etc is like adding insulation to your home. It wlll help keep the plants cooler, conserve water, and cut down on weeds-your plants will love you for it!
Fertilize-healthy plants can withstand periods of stress much better than others. Fertilize now and again at the end of summer to keep you plants strong.
Check for pests. Plants that are under attack will be weakened and will have a harder time under the stress of heat.
Control competition-WEEDS-They compete for water, sunlight,space , and they harbor insects.
Come to this Saturday’s Class at 10 am to get more information or just stop by and we’ll show you how!!

GARDEN CHECK LISTtomato fruit

  • Hopefully you’re starting to harvest some tomatoes! Check for blossom end rot (black spot on bottom of fruit). If it exists, spray with Yield Booster/Blossom End Rot Preventer. If blooms are not setting fruit you can spray with a tomato and pepper set spray, pollination continues to be a problem in urban gardens. Continue to fertilize tomatoes,peppers,etc monthly with natural guard or bradfield organic fertilizers and be prepared to adjust watering schedules with warmer temps.
  • Check sprinkler systems- Be sure all heads/emitters,etc are functioning properly and water is going in the correct direction. Now is the time to catch problems
