It can be a challenge to keep gardens growing as temperatures heat up, so Utah State University Extension provides aGardener’s Almanac to help. The Almanac includes information and links to keep your yard and garden at their best, in spite of the heat.
Start enjoying the tomato harvest.Fertilize potatoes with nitrogen in early July.Harvest summer squash and zucchini while they are still small and tender.Deep water established trees and shrubs about once a month during the heat of summer.Deadhead (cut off) spent blossoms of perennial and annual flowers.Divide crowded iris or daylilies once they have finished blooming.Visit alpine areas for wildflower displays.Remove water sprouts (vertical shoots in the canopy) on fruit trees to discourage regrowth.Renovate perennial strawberry beds by tearing out old crowns (mother plants) and applying fertilizer to stimulate new runners.
