A lawn can look good in May and still be poorly prepared for summer. That is one of the most common problems homeowners, landscapers, property managers, and turf crews run into. Spring moisture and moderate temperatures can make turf look better than it really is. Grass greens up. Mowing becomes regular. Bare spots are less […]
Late May is one of the last good windows to correct fertility before summer pressure starts making every problem harder. By this point, the season has already tested the plan. Some crops are moving well. Some are pale. Some transplants are rooted and growing. Others are sitting still. Lawns may look green from spring moisture […]
Soil biology gets talked about so often now that it can start to sound like a slogan. Farmers hear it at meetings. Gardeners see it on bags and bottles. Landscapers hear clients ask for “living soil.” Nursery growers hear about microbial activity, humic acids, organic inputs, compost, carbon, and soil health. The words are everywhere. […]
Annual color can look easy in May. Fresh flats are full. Hanging baskets are blooming. Landscaped entrances have clean edges and bright beds. Patio planters are packed with petunias, calibrachoa, begonias, geraniums, salvia, marigolds, vinca, impatiens, zinnias, coleus, and sweet potato vine. The soil is still holding some spring moisture. Nights are not as punishing […]
Yellow leaves get attention fast. A tomato that looked fine last week suddenly has pale lower leaves. Sweet corn looks washed out after a rain. Beans come up light green. Cucumbers sit still with yellowing edges. Peppers look weak even though they were planted on time. A lawn has yellow patches in low spots. A […]
Memorial Day weekend often marks a turning point in the garden. By late May, many spring plans have already met real weather. Seeds have either come up or they have not. Transplants have either rooted in or stalled. Lawns are growing faster. Flower beds are filling. Tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, squash, beans, herbs, and annuals are […]
Calcium problems rarely start on the day fruit shows damage. By the time a tomato has blossom end rot, a pepper has a dark sunken spot near the blossom end, or a melon shows weak tissue during early sizing, the plant has already missed a key window. The damage happened while that fruit was forming […]
Heat stress usually shows up above the ground. Leaves wilt in the afternoon. Tomato plants curl. Pepper plants drop blossoms. Lawns fade from green to gray-green. Flower beds look tired even when they were blooming well the week before. Cucumbers and squash slow down. Containers dry out before the end of the day. Fruit sizing […]
Container plants can look perfect when they first come home. The leaves are clean. The flowers are bright. The tomato transplant is upright. The hanging basket is full. The herbs smell fresh. The patio planter looks finished. Everything seems ready for the season. Then May weather starts working on the container. Warm afternoons dry the […]
Plant color is one of the first things growers notice in May. A corn row looks pale from the road. Soybeans come up yellow in one corner of the field. Sweet corn stalls after a cold rain. Tomato transplants stay light green. Brassicas look hungry. Peppers sit still. Beans emerge unevenly. A vegetable bed that […]
