A good way to combat the in- 1:20, 4:45, 7:30, 10
tense heat of this month is to
mulch the garden heavily. It is re- Loews Preston Park
commended that every inch of soil Park & Preston
in the garden be covered with a
Meavy layer of mulch.
Organic mulching materials like
straw, leaves, compost, grass cut-
tings, pine straw, shredded bark
or bark chips are preferable.
Others can work well, provided
they are thick enough to keep
moisture in and still maintain good
air circulation.
Everything planted in the gar-
den needs to be mulched, espe-
cially this time of year when the
dry, hot air will dry out a plant’s
foliage. If the plant cannot draw
enough moisture from its root sys-
tem to replace what is lost through
its foliage, water stress will result.
The plant will suffer for weeks
after.
Consequently, fall gardens may
wither because of water stress
that could happen this month.
Fall tomato crops are particular-
ly susceptible to water stress at
this time. Although the fruit is just
beginning to set, if the plants
aren’t adequately mulched now,
blossom-end-rot will appear later,
when the tomatoes begin to ripen.
Characterized by a blackened
area near the bottom of the toma-
to, the fruit is usually lacking in
taste and should be discarded im-
mediately so the plant can concen-
trate its efforts on a better quality
fruit.
Tomatoes can also suffer from
heat and water stress now while
they are trying to set their fruit for
fall harvest. Extreme hot temper-
atures can cause the blossoms to
fall off before the fruit is set.
If this happens, keep the plant
well watered and consider building
a temporary shade or screen to
help lower temperatures and allow
fruit to develop.
Watch cucumbers carefully dur-
ing this time as well. Hot weather
can interfere with their pollination
efforts, resulting in small, mis-
shapen fruit. Remove these as
soon as they develop, and watch
for bitterness in the first crop this
fall. Prolonged high temperatures
can cause bitterness in the early
crops of cucumbers and eggplant
as well.
Despite the complications hot
weather brings to vegetable gar-
dens, it is still preferable to plant
vegetables in mid-summer for fall
harvest rather than a spring
garden.
If plants survive August in
Texas, it will result in a much lon-
ger and much higher quality har-
vest, sometimes lasting as long as
through the end of the year.
This week:
■Look for powdery mildew on
crepe myrtles and treat with fun-
ginex to control. Spray crepe myr-
tles for aphids.
■ Dig up and divide daylilies if
their showing wasn’t as spectacu-
lar as normal this year. Remove
soil from the roots and separate
plants at the crown, planting each
section 12 to 18 inches apart.
■ Fertilize late summer and fall
flowers like chrysanthemums,
dahlias and asters.
om Sow seeds for a cool-weather
vegetable garden now, including
leaf lettuce, spinach, peas and tur-
nips.
