Summer temperatures are here; and, thanks to Hurricane Beryl, some of us have gotten some rain the last few days. I have gotten enough rain that I haven’t had to water anything, not even container plants, the temperatures have been cooler, and the plants in my landscape look clean, refreshed, and rejuvenated. I hope it doesn’t get so hot in the next few days it is like a sauna. On the negative side, the wind has been blowing really hard and the grass has greened up and grown really fast. The main things that will need to be done in July are watering, deadheading, weeding, managing pests, and harvesting vegetables. Work early in the morning and late in the evening when it is cooler. That is also prime mosquito time so be sure to take precautions. Health departments in Oklahoma have reported the presence of West Nile Virus already which is dangerous for humans and horses so protect yourselves and your animals. Follow the shade, and drink lots of water. Make time to enjoy your yard instead of just working in it.
