Garden

               TIPS

 

 

  •  Plant fall crops, including beets, spinach, lettuce, and broccoli. If you give them consistent moisture, they will flourish in the summer heat and be ready to harvest in fall. 
  •  Remove spent flower heads on perennials such as delphinium and phlox for a second round of blooms.
  • Let your lawn grow a bit taller in summer than in spring and autumn—taller grass tolerates the heat better.
