Gardening Tips For Summer

Regardless of what types of plants or trees you have in your gardening area there are some tips you should follow for summer. For example, citrus trees should not be pruned for fruit to produce. These trees are susceptible to both frost damage in winter and sunburn in the summer so keep those low lying branches in tack. Gardening advice for modern roses is major pruning should be done in January or February, old garden roses flower on old wood so you should prune after spring around May. Conifers should be pruned when dormant in winter months. If you have ornamental grass cut back 4-6 inches in winter and leave alone in the summer. If you have barrel cactus in your gardening area that have bloomed in the spring there is no need to remove those dried, spent flowers in summer as they will fall off naturally.
