Holiday Tips

Happy Memorial Day 2015

A couple of quick tips for this upcoming holiday weekend.  There's a widespread freeze warning that has been issued for this evening in many parts of New England so whether you plan to head out of town or you're celebrating at home, be certain to protect your tender plants. Anything you can't bring indoors, make sure you blanket and protect from this expected frost. This wacky, extra dry spring with hot than cold temps is raising havoc on plants overall,which leads me to one more important note. Many irrigation companies aren't scheduled to pressurize and get the systems up and running until mid-June but this spring has been exceptionally dry so keep an eye on all of your plant material and give everything a drink before you leave for the holiday parties or beach getaways. You want to come back to a lush garden, not burnt toast. Stay safe on your ventures wherever you may go. Enjoy the garden, parades and barbeques.And if you don't have your seed potatoes or onion sets in the ground, get them in this weekend. But protect those tenders if you already sowed.
