How to Keep Your Garden Blooming All Summer
Summer gardens are a joy, but they need a little TLC to stay vibrant all season long. Whether you’re growing flowers, herbs, or veggies, these tips from Richfield Farms will help you keep things blooming well into August.
Garden care tips for nonstop summer color:
Feed the soil: Use compost or organic fertilizer every few weeks to replenish nutrients your plants are using up.
Deadhead often: Snip off spent blooms to encourage new growth and prevent your plants from going to seed.
Water wisely: Water early in the morning to reduce evaporation and fungal growth. Deep, less frequent watering helps roots grow strong.
Mulch, mulch, mulch: A 2–3 inch layer of mulch helps retain moisture, suppress weeds, and keep soil temperatures stable.
Watch for pests: Keep an eye out for aphids, caterpillars, and powdery mildew. Stop by Richfield Farms for natural remedies and tips on keeping your garden healthy.
With a little consistent care, your garden will stay gorgeous all season.
