New York Garden Calendar
This week: Head for our local beaches and notice which plants thrive in hot and windy conditions: beach pea, rugosa rose, yarrow and Russian sage are all good choices for rooftop terraces too! Locally, prepare for torrid temperatures by watering DEEPLY garden plants and everything in containers. If possible, move pots to shady areas or erect shade cloth over the vegetable beds (sheer curtains on sticks will work.) Lay down 2-3 inches of mulch to keep the soil cool. Thunderstorms are expected later in the week. Remember to water in the morning and use sunscreen!
