Sempervirens Gardening | Posted on July 22nd, 2024

July awakens your garden with vibrant life and an explosion of colors, marking a blooming season in full blast. At Sempervirens Gardening, we cherish this dynamic season and are dedicated to helping your garden flourish throughout the summer. Here's our personalized checklist of essential tasks you'll want to prioritize this month:

1. Deadheading Flowers:

As your garden blooms, regular deadheading is essential. At Sempervirens Gardening, we have a great time taking down those "no bueno" plants that need deadheading. This method not only keeps your garden looking pristine but also stimulates ongoing flowering. Stay tuned for our upcoming detailed blog post on deadheading!

2. Pruning:

Now is the perfect time to prune your beautiful flowering plants—roses, geraniums, lavender, and hydrangeas—to ensure they maintain their shape and thrive. Whether it's unruly hedges, maple trees, or evergreen shrubs causing you a headache, we have the tools for the job. From precise hand pruners and loppers to efficient hedge trimmers, Sempervirens Gardening is equipped to handle any pruning challenge. Got an overgrown mess? No problemo—don’t let overgrowth overwhelm you. Sempervirens Gardening is ready and eager to assist.

3. Checking for Pests and Diseases:

Ahh, aphids, spider mites, and caterpillars—common pests in our area. Detecting them early allows us to promptly treat and protect your plants. Due to our unique coastal climate, you'll want to also watch for signs of diseases like leaf spots or powdery mildew. We're constantly vigilant in our search for these pesky invaders, ensuring your garden remains healthy and thriving.

4. Watering Wisely:

Sprinkler check up is a must now with the dry weather. It's time to make sure the outside watering timers are fine tuned, programmed, or replaced. Also, think about putting covers on the solenoid valves to shield them from sun damage and keep them in good shape.This will help you save water, help retain property value, and provide peace of mind by reducing concerns about maintenance.

5. Fertilizing Strategically:

Fertilizing plays a crucial role in enriching the soil's nutrients, fostering optimal plant health and growth. Yet, with the hustle of daily life, this vital task can sometimes be overlooked. We are currently in fertilizing mode for Rhodies, Azaleas, and Camellias. Let us support you in ensuring your plants receive the nourishment they need to thrive beautifully throughout the seasons.

6. Mulching:

Mulching garden spaces is a great way to spruce up the space, retain moisture, and add nutrients to the plants. Triple whammy!
