Summer's here, and with it comes a rainbow of color in flowers. Beds filled with purple and fuschia petunias, yellow and orange marigolds, zinnias in sizzlin' hot summer shades and hanging baskets filled with multi-colored annuals - and all of them require dead-heading to keep their blooms coming. The more old blooms you can take off, the more consistent color you'll see.
Don't forget to fertilize, using your choice of a vast array of fertilizers out there. But that's another blog for another day.
And keep watering regularly, after we stop getting deluged here in the Northeast, of course. Later in the summer, especially, guard against the soil becoming too dry and you'll enjoy your flowers well into the Fall.
