Things To Do This Month
- Plant annuals such as zinnias, marigolds and cosmos to attract beneficial insects.
- Check charts and soil temperatures for the best time to plant seasonal crops.
- Keep up with the weeds. If they are pulled before they scatter their seeds you will have saved yourself a LOT of weeding time. Weeds suck up water and nutrients meant for your vegetables.
- Monitor your garden for aphids and flea beetles to keep things under control.

Consider These Ideas
- Plant successive crops about two weeks apart to extend the season of your favorite vegetables.
- Talk with a neighboring gardener about sharing some plants. She grows zucchini and acorn squash, and you grow yellow crook neck and delicata squash.
- Stretch out food production for beans by planting bush beans as well as pole beans. When the bush beans are just about finished producing, the pole beans will be starting. My favorites are Royal Burgundy bush beans and Blue Lake pole beans.
- Don't forget the watering co-op sign up in the tool shed if you are going to be away for a while. Water for someone and they will water for you.
