Went to the Plant Clinic at The Sheriffs Annex monday, armed with my bag of weeds and soil sample. Must have been 6 volunteers there, who were very helpful and knowledgable. Along with my samples, also had plenty of questions, and everyone was answered. What great people. I recommend anyone wanting to know anything about gardening, to drop by on mondays. These people have the answers, and if they don't they, will research for you. Found out its useless to try to grow tomatoes (in ground) this time of year. (Just plain too hot) Also, that Bermuda eventually takes over Zoysia, and that everyone has bermuda in their zoysia. You can spray Oleanders, to eventually kill the caterpillers, that like to eat your leaves. Geraniums should be put in shady areas (potted) for most of the day during summer heat. (if droopy, cut all buds off, so plant will get strength) Petunias lose strength, also during summer heat. Sedium grow better in pots, then ground. Use good potting soil in ground, to help plants. (Don't be stingy) Oh I forgot!! Learned about "Crepe Murder" also. hehe I just enjoyed stopping by, and "Hats Off" to those Volunteers, who were so very helpful!!!
