Gardening Checklist

Aug. 28 - Sep. 3

Divide crowded clumps of Shasta Daisies now for better flower size next summer.
Water Japanese Iris thoroughly before and during the blooming season to promote a spectacular bloom.
Support chrysanthemum by staking. The fuller they become the possibility they may break.
Keep baiting slug and snails especially once you’ve set out new seedling.
If your azaleas have set their buds, switch to 0-10-10 fertilizer to promote bigger flowers in the spring. Using high nitrogen fertilizer will cause the azalea to drop their flower buds and keep on growing.
