September’s Yard of the Month showcases the use of mulch as a summertime staple for responsible water usage
September’s Yard of the Month showcases the use of mulch as a summertime staple for responsible water usage
September is still summertime in Central Texas, with yards stressed by severe heat and spare moisture, including Stage 1 Drought Restrictions limiting lawn watering to one day each week, whether by hose and sprinkler or automatic irrigation system. Fortunately, hand watering and soaker hoses or drip irrigation is not restricted, and homeowners who want to maximize water use (and minimize cost) know that providing water early in the morning is the most efficient way to keep plants healthy until cooler weather arrives. September’s Yard of the Month, chosen by Spring Lake Garden Club, shows the wisdom of adding one more item to summertime plant care: plenty of mulch. In fact, the original mulch coverage has already been replenished with a new supply. 09/13/2020 04:00 AM

The Azalea Bowl at Callaway Gardens is one of The Garden Guy’s favorite places, even when the 3,000-plus azaleas aren’t blooming. The seasonal color and serenity will have you energized in short order. Such was the case recently, when my wife Jan and I became mesmerized with their plantings of flowers and foliage, in combination with the graceful King Tut papyrus. 09/13/2020 04:00 AM
