On this week’s Good to Grow, hosts Denise and Jan will talk about May Gardening Tips. This is the best time to refresh your garden with warm-season grasses such as Zoysia, Bermuda, Buffalo Grass, and St. Augustine. It is not blistering hot yet, so you can attend to your garden properly, so don’t hesitate! Prune your fruit trees, flower plants, and ornamentals, like your Lady Banks Roses, judiciously. Don’t miss this edition of Good to Grow, and stay tuned for the next episode!
Pro Tip: The recommended dosage for lawn fertilization is one pound of nitrogen per thousand square feet. If you go to a garden center, they can calculate how many pounds of fertilizer you need for your garden. Remember that good fertilizers are built from three essential components: Nitrogen, Phosphorus, and Potassium. Fertilize judiciously, give enough, but don’t give too much!
