Latest Garden Checklist

For the week of Aug. 28: We get a brief cooldown this week, thanks to the Delta breeze. Before temperatures heat up again, take care of some late summer tasks: * Prepare for a fall full of flowers by paying a little extra attention to your garden. Cut off spent blooms from roses, annuals and perennials, then give them a boost of fertilizer. Make sure to water plants before feeding. Roses will rebloom about six to eight weeks after deadheading. * Divide bearded iris and other perennials. Revitalize beds and replant. *Feed citrus trees their last round of fertilizer for the year. This will give a boost to the fruit that's now forming. * Camellia leaves looking a little yellow? Feed them some chelated iron. That goes for azaleas and gardenias, too. * To prolong bloom into fall, feed begonias, fuchsias, annuals and container plants. * Fertilize fall-blooming perennials, too. Chrysanthemums can be fed until the buds start to open. * Pick up after your fruit trees. Clean up debris and dropped fruit; this cuts down on insects and prevents the spread of brown rot. Then feed fruit trees with slow-release fertilizer for better production for next year. * Pull out summer vegetables that are past their prime and have stopped producing. Dispose of plants heavily infested with spider mites. * Indoors, start seedlings for fall vegetable planting, including bunching onion, cabbage, broccoli, cauliflower, kale, radicchio and lettuce. * Sow seeds of perennials in pots for fall planting including yarrow, coneflower and salvia. * In the garden, direct seed beets, carrots, leaf lettuce and turnips. * Plant more potatoes.
