Hello Again!
Insects (aphids, etc.) are beginning to feed on tender
growth and diseases such as black spot and mildew are also
attacking plants. For control of these and other problems there are
chemical and natural products available, however, identification of
the problem and the timing of application are critical so I
recommend bringing in a sample of each to be identified.
May is also hanging basket and planter season! Both are
great for color and they can be functional (herbs, etc.). The three
principal components for success of both are: have a thriller
(striking center plant-cordyline), then filler (splashes of
color-nemesias), and last spiller (hanging color-sweet potato
vine). There are many other choices of plants limited only to ones
imagination! There are many tropical plants also available which
work well in larger containers (ex.hibiscus,mandevilla). With all
containers use a good slow release fertilizer and with regular
watering you will be well rewarded!
Enjoy the Month,
Dabney
p.s. Fescue lawns should now be mowed high and watered
regularly, and only green them up with iron-based products.
