Bad Weather Gardening Tips

Rain Drops FallingAs spring approaches, we brace for those spring storms and with them comes lots of rain. Tending to your garden during the rainy season can be a bit more complicated than many think. Make sure to follow these simple tips for gardening in bad weather.

Remove Rain-damaged Plants

Not only will this make your garden look cleaner, it also encourages more growth among your flowers. Often when you sheer off old wilted flowers, you will be rewarded with fresh growth after a nice shower.

Prevent Slugs and Snail Damage

With the increase in rain, snugs and snails come out to play. Make sure to protect the young and new plants that haven’t had a chance to root completely. Many find that slug pellets work well in keeping them at bay.

Watch For Wart-Like Growths

When you start to see weird wart-like growth on the underside of leaves and on the stems, you may have a case of oedema. This is a condition of an over-watered plant. If you start to see these growths, hold off on watering for a few days.

Don’t Overwater

After a long period of heat, and large downpours, plants tend to be stressed. Too much water can damage the roots of the plant. Keep track on your rainfall and make sure that you aren’t watering your garden too much on top of precipitation.

Flood dangers

If you live near a larger body of water, make sure you have precautions incase your garden starts to floor. If you have any fruits and vegetables in your garden that have been covered in flood water, you should not eat them. They could contain dangerous bacteria and chemicals that have been washed into the flood.

3 Yard Ideas That Are Simply Genius

Great yard ideasIt is a common myth that the only way to have a great yard is to invest a lot of money into it. With a few tips, you can have the yard of your dreams without blowing your budget.

1. Simple Walkway

First impressions are often the most powerful. For a person’s home, the front yard equates to a first impression. One of the best ways to create a stunning front yard is to create a visual path through the yard to the front door. Walkways are simple to create. You can do a simple brick path, lined with shrubs, or even flowers. If you already have a concrete pathway, line it with mismatched slate or stones to give it a facelift. This will be sure to give your front yard a “wow” factor.

2. Hide your Hose

A tangled up hose on the side of the house is not only an eyesore, but also very inconvenient when you need to water the garden. Find an old bedside table at a garage sale or online. Cut the back of it out and place it against the house where the water nozzle is placed. Coil up the hose and place it inside the bedside table and close the doors. Place a few nice plants on top for a stylish container for your hose.

3. Natural Weed Killer

When you spray harmful chemicals on your garden, you risk not only killing the intended weeds but also harming your plants. Try this mix for a natural weed killer:

  • 1 gallon vinegar
  • 2 cups Epson salts
  • ¼ cup dish soap

Spray this on weeds for a quick kill that won’t harm your garden or your family.

Keeping Your Lawn Healthy in this Drought

Lawn Healthy this DroughtFor those of us that live in Texas, this is been a particularly trying summer. With record-setting temperatures and unbearable heatwaves, keeping your family cool and comfortable is of the utmost priority. The lack of rainfall has been hard for many, and this lack of plentiful moisture can take a toll on your lawn’s health. Our Dallas and Fort Worth TX lawn care experts at Blooms Landcare can offer you additional information on how to keep your lawn looking its best during this drought.

In a drought such as this one, it is crucial to remember not to mow your lawn if you do not see growth. Excessive mowing will simply damage your lawn and make it more vulnerable to sun damage. The weight of the lawn mower can also damage your already fragile grass. If your grass is indeed growing, it is best to mow at night, when you won’t have to contend with the sun’s warm rays. Making sure your mower blades are sharp and efficient, as well as raising the height of your grass will also help make for a healthier and fuller lawn.

It is also important to ensure that your lawn is receiving the adequate water levels it needs. This is where your irrigation system is essential. It is extremely important to make sure your irrigation system is covering all areas of your lawn, however. If you notice brown or yellow patches assorted throughout your lawn, this could mean that your irrigation system is not accurately covering you entire lawn. Our lawn care experts can make sure your system is running efficiently and providing the coverage your lawn so desperately needs.
