The recent spike in hot weather can play havoc with your plants, particularly those that are attempting to enter a dormant period for the Fall. Here is an emergency plan for those days when you see an elevation in temperature coming. Water in the evening or early morning to best avoid evaporation and the water getting hot in the sun's rays. Water deeply and often but when the water supply is low, it is better to water deeply and occasionally, as that encourages deeper root growth into cooler (and hopefully more moist) layers of soil. Frequent light watering encourages lush growth but also promotes shallower roots so that the plant is less prepared to cope when there is a reduction or no water coming on a hot day.

Once the flowers have faded on your woody perennials (sage, lavendar, rosemary etc) it's time to cut back down to the new growth. But don't follow the example of many municipal plantings that suffer from being 'buzz-cut' across the top, let E-Z Gardening hand prune for you ensuring that the lovely natural shapings of these beautiful plants continue to be the foundation of your landscaping,

Pansies are one of the most delightful additions to any garden and if planted in the Fall can last right through to the heat of Summer providing one of the best value annuals. When planting, always leaving a little of the rootball sticking out of the ground, never bury the base or crown or you'll risk attracting the fungus 'Rhizoctonia' which will cause the plant to wilt and ultimately rot. Plant 6" apart in pots or beds and you'll have months and months of cheery faces to greet you everytime you visit your yard.

One of the biggest mistakes gardeners make is not correctly preparing the best home for their new plants. This is particularly true for roses which should have a hole prepared large enough and deep enough to accommodate the roots without bending or cramming into the space. That can mean having to dig quite a large hole, but with bare root roses being such a great deal right now, E-Z Gardening will happily take on the hard work and prepare beds which will ensure many years of beautiful fragrant blooms.

Want to know the secret to award-winning roses? Bonemeal! As a natural fertilizer, it is not only excellent for roses and other flowers but can be used in just about any situation where a controlled-release of phosphorus is preferred. Synthetic phosphorus may be cheaper but it is extremely acidic as it is highly processed. Depending on the brand, bonemeal contains phosphates in amounts ranging from 10 -13%. On fertilizer sacks (which can be very heavy, so call us to pick some up for you!), phosphorus is the second element listed in the series of three, with nitrogen listed first and potassium last.

Dethatching your lawn is a great way to improve the overall health of your lawn. When you dethatch, you are cutting through the lawn and removing the dead grass, roots, and debris that accumulates between the soil surface and the green grass blades above. Over time, thatch will stop water and air from reaching the soil and will encourage pests and diseases. You can buy what’s called a thatching rake (which has knifelike blades rather than normal tines) and then with a vigorous action, rake the lawn and remove all the buildup that has occured through the summer season. It’s hard work though (and really only practical for smaller lawns) so give us a call (805) 717-4020 if we can perform this very necessary seasonal service for you.

Keeping your tools in great shape not only helps them last longer but keeps you safer in the garden too! A easy way to store your smaller tools is in a bucket of sand with a little oil in it. Go easy on adding the oil (a little goes a long way!) and the combination of sand and oil will keep edges sharp and rust free. No need to buy the larger more expensive tools, E-Z Gardening has all of that for you - freeing up your shed space and keeping more dollars in your pocket for the fun stuff - more plants and flowers!
