Hoe, hoe, hoe! Time to weed, trim, watch watering schedule

Garden center co-owner Whitney Haman has simple advice for taking care of yards this month.

"Water, weed and trim and that's it," says Haman, who owns the eastside Enchanted Desert Garden with her parents.

WATER

Sounds strange, but you have to watch your watering more closely once the monsoon rains appear in July.

That's because you may need to adjust your automatic watering system if sufficient rain falls on your landscape.

Haman suggests skipping a scheduled irrigation if you get more than a third of an inch of rain at one time.

Otherwise, "if you've got your water on twice a day or for very long periods, you might risk rotting things" like roots by over-watering, she says.

On the other hand, "sometimes the rain just barely wets the surface," she adds, "and that's not enough."

Continue to water your edible garden, even if the early summer plants don't look so nice.we supply all kinds of oil painting reproduction, They'll spring back in the cooler fall.

And go ahead and water the cactus. "Water once or twice a week if you want flowers," Haman says.

WEED

Once the rains come, weeds will, too. Haman suggests using a hula hoe or other method to yank weeds, roots and all, before they go to seed and spread.

TRIM

Anything damaged or killed by last winter's major freeze "should have been showing life by now," she says. It's time to get rid of it if it still looks dead.

Remove deadwood from trees to thin out the canopy. That allows strong winds to blow through it instead of breaking limbs or pulling the tree out of the ground.

Take mistletoe out of trees, too, if you can.
