How to care your garden in summer 🌞 1. Water Wisely Water early morning or late evening to reduce evaporation. Deep watering is better than frequent shallow watering—encourages deep root growth. Use drip irrigation or soaker hoses to deliver water directly to the roots. Mulch soil (2–3 inches of organic mulch like straw, bark, or compost) to retain moisture and reduce weeds. 🌿 2. Mulching Matters Helps retain moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds. Organic mulches also improve soil structure as they decompose. 🌳 3. Provide Shade Use shade cloths, row covers, or garden umbrellas for sensitive plants. Position taller plants to cast shade over shorter, shade-loving ones. 🌼 4. Prune and Deadhead Remove dead flowers (deadheading) to promote new blooms. Light pruning helps improve air circulation and reduce disease risk. 🌾 5. Watch for Pests and Diseases Heat-stressed plants are more vulnerable. Check leav...
