July Garden Activities:

{ Watch for disease or insect attacks on your plants.  If you don’t know what it is you can give us a call at the Extension Office at 564-3301 or in Maine 1-800-287-1491 or you can email Hannah Todd, Extension Home Horticulture Aide at htodd@umext.maine.edu.

{ Harvesting has started with lettuce, spinach, peas, and early potatoes. 

{ Continue planting crops for continuous harvest

{ Renovate strawberry beds immediately after harvest is finished.

{ Annual flowers need additional fertilizer to maintain lush growth and flowering. 

{ Yellowed garden plants may point to lack of nitrogen due to our excessive rains and cool weather.  Consider side-dressing with a nitrogen rich fertilizer.

{ Take your extra garden produce to the local food cupboard or share with a neighbor in need.
