Fertilizing Annuals – Annuals complete their lifecycle in a single growing season, giving the garden color from spring through until they succumb to a killing frost in the fall. They can be planted in mass or just for pops of color here and there. Our desire for annuals to push the boundaries of their growing capability and give us endless color means that we literally grow them to death. From the day annuals are planted through the peak of their blooming period, we highly recommend that you fertilize them weekly, using water-soluble fertilizers like SCHULTZ or Jack’s Classic (J.R. Peters). Water soluble fertilizers are readily taken up by the plants, through foliage and roots, and stimulate strong and magnificent growth and blooms.
Controlling Problems in the Garden – Is your yard being invaded by insects, diseases, weeds, or varmints? Lawn Depot’s Garden Center has remedies to solve the problem in a timely and efficient fashion. Whether it’s Japanese Beetles or Black Spot invading your roses; ants, fleas or ticks infesting your backyard oasis; weeds inundating your garden beds; deer, rabbits or voles destroying your plants. Whatever your situation, we’ll do our best to find a solution for you!
Mulching for Summer Root Protection – Mulch protects the plants’ root system from heat and helps hold moisture at the root zone during summer dry spells. If you haven’t already applied a fresh layer of mulch this spring, NOW is the time! Both newly planted and existing plants greatly benefit from being mulched in. Our garden center offers a great selection of premium bulk and/or bagged mulches for pick up or delivery. We request that you call several days ahead for delivery, so we can get your mulch to you when you need it.
For the Birds – Most people think only of feeding hummingbirds in the summer. While hummingbirds do benefit greatly from hummingbird feeders, many other birds still rely on extra feed from birdfeeders during the summer. Birds may supplement up to 25% of their daily intake from birdfeeders. Better feeds, like Wild Delight, fortify their feeds with essential vitamins and minerals that help keep our feathered friends healthy! Plus, you can take advantage of the Wild Delight Frequent Buyer Program. Stop in and browse our great selection of bird baths, houses and feeders to make your outdoor living space a haven for your feathered friends. You’ll be glad you did.
