July Gardening Tips - Colorado

Keep your yard and garden in top shape with these timely and seasonal gardening tips.

• Always water the most desirous and valuable plants first, each morning.
  
  
• Apply mulch in all rose gardens to help irrigation and to choke out weeds.
  
  
• Ornamental plants grow best in acidic soils. Apply an acidic organic mulch for best results.
  
  
• Deadhead annuals to encourage new growth and more vibrant plants and color.
  
  
• Spruce up the garden by removing fallen leaves and dead garden material. This will help reduce garden pests.
  
  
• De-weed to provide maximum irrigation to garden plants.
  
  
• Pinch-back asters no later than mid July. Garden mums and chrysanthemums, too.
  
  
• Deadhead spring-flowering plants and shrubs (lilacs, azaleas, rhododendrons).
