Give your perennials special care

Caring for the plants in your garden during these late summer days can keep you pretty busy. Today I noticed that many of my rose bushes pettles have blown away in the summer thunderstorms that seems to be passing our way every afternoon lately. This is just one of the reminders that nature gives you to go out in your garden and take care of those daily chores that make your garden so special. Keeping your garden looking its best by watering your plants when needed,getting rid of those pesty weeds that seem to pop up from no were, mulching around your trees and flowers and deadheading or trimming your plants and flowers will keep your garden and landscape looking it's best way into the late summer and fall months.

Having moved from the eastcoast to Colorado the past six months has been one of the dreams of my life. Unfortunately having your personal items stored away in one of those you store it facilities you wonder how safe your personal items really are. Having to transport not only personal belongings but also garden tools and accessories some things are bound to get lost or misplaced. Well after months of searching for my hedger that I know I placed in storage but some how disappeared, Hmmmm I finally replaced my hedger with a brand new electric hedger from one of the home improvement stores. Watching my hedges growing to hights that I would rather not say has been urking me for weeks. But now that I am back in action it is time to trim the monsters down to a respectable size.

Tools of the Trade

Here we are at the beginning of a new weekend getting home from work and relaxing or getting ready to go out and have a good time. Saturday rolls around and it's time to put in a little garden work to spruce up your outsite area. No matter what your project is for the day having the proper tools to do the job is essential to a successful project. My roses on the back deck are ready to prune but I would not try to prune them with a pair of scissors. Maybe it's time for you to rake the yard but you would not use a house broom. At least I hope not :) . Having a full array of garden tools will make you project fun and so much easier to complete. Not to mention the time you will save by using proper tools. Then after your finished you will have plenty of time for those other fun things that you like to do.

The other day I was looking at my lawn and garden and noticed that with all the rain that we have been getting lately my lawn and garden are growing like wildfire. Using just an hedger or trimmer is just not doing the job anymore. Those tools while they can handle the medium jobs. With all of the growth that I am getting in the ladder part of the summer. I think the best thing to do is invest in a new lawn mower. While going to the nearest home improvement store I noticed that there are  many types of lawn mowers to choose from depending on how large your lawn is, how much muscle you want to use to complete the job and how much money you are willing to spend to get the lawn mower you want.
