July
  • Begin preparing fall vegetable beds for planting this month or in August.


  • Mist house plants that require high humidity. The exceptions are the Chinese evergreen and dracaenas like corn plants.


  • Feed peach and plum trees with a high nitrogen fertilizer such as Fertilome "Pecan, Citrus and Gruit Tree Ferlizer".


  • Summer prune roses to keep them in good shape.


  • Cut off dead seed pods on crape myrtles to encourage more blooms.


  • Black sooty mold indicates the presence of sucking insects. Get rid of the insects and the black sooty mold will also go away.


  • Normally we do not recommend preventative application of insecticides. However, if you are going away on vacation, I reccommend applying Nitro-Phos BugOut or Hi-Yield Permethrin granules to prevent chinch bug or perhaps sod web worm damage from greeting you when you return.


  • Sow wildflower seeds from now until January for flowers next spring.


  • Last chance to fertilize azaleas. If you have not already fertilized three times, fertilize before the last of July.
