Indoor Hydro & Garden has

gardening supplies!
• If green lawn is desired, frequent watering is nec-
essary during periods of heat and drought stress.
Irrigate 0.25 inches four to six times per week
from June through August. Measure your water
use by placing an empty tuna can where your irri-
gation water lands.
• Early morning is the best time to water vegetable
and flower gardens to reduce evaporation. Wa-
ter the soil, rather than leaves to reduce disease.
Water deeply and infrequently to encourage root
growth.
• Hanging baskets of flowers or vegetable plantings
need careful attention to watering and feeding
during extended periods of hot weather.
PLANTING/PROPAGATION
• Midsummer plantings of beets, bush beans, car-
rots, cauliflower, broccoli, lettuce, kale and peas
will provide fall and winter crops.
• Dig spring bulbs when tops have died down; di-
vide and store or replant.
• First planting of Chinese cabbage, kohlrabi and
rutabagas.
