Let's face it: Our houseplants aren't the most
important things on our to-do lists, and even the most
attentive gardeners will sometimes forget to water the
hanging baskets. The good news is that unless the
plants are completely dead, they can usually be
revived. |

| These flowers will survive winter and return the next summer. If you plant perennials, you will not have to replant them next year unless you want to move them to a new location. |

| Annual weeds, such as crabgrass, germinate from seeds each spring. After maturing, they drop seeds before dying. These are the seeds that germinate the following year. Perennial weeds, such as dandelions, do not die at the end of growing season. They may lay dormant in the winter, but will become noticeable in the spring. There are also biennial weeds, such as thistle, which grow vegetation in the first year and then flower and die the second year. |

| Once a week for an extended period (slow watering) rather than more often for shorter periods of time. This allows moisture to go deeper into the soil. |

 The proper time for sowing seeds for transplants depends upon when plants may safely be moved outdoors in your area. This period may range from 4 to 12 weeks prior to transplanting depending upon the speed of germination, the rate of growth, and the cultural conditions provided. A common mistake is to sow seed too early and then attempt to hold the seedlings back under poor light or improper temperature ranges. This usually results in tall, weak, and spindly plants which do not perform well in the garden.

| Transplanting Tomato Seedlings |

When you transplant tomatoes, there are two methods you can use. The first way is to plant them deep, right up to their leaves. The other way is to dig a short trench, lay the plant on it's side, cover up the roots and stem with soil. The leaves will start to turn upward and grow the way it should. The stem that's underground will develop roots. Either method will provide you with a husky healthy tomato plant. |

| Grass clippings, potato peelings, onion tops and other vegetative waste material can be made into a valuable soil conditioner and plant food for fall garden beds by remaining in a compost heap this summer. |

| Weed after a rainfall. Weeds pull easier. If you need to weed and it hasn't rained, water your garden first. |
