September: The rains are back!
Finally, there is a hint of cooler weather, and the fall rains have returned to North Texas!. This means your garden is ready to explode back to life, and we can’t wait to see all that beautiful fall color! This summer’s heat and lack of rain have seriously tested most irrigation systems. Some of you may have gardens and lawns that look like they have been blasted by the summer heat. If there are areas of your sprinkler system that are broken, or where perhaps it simply didn’t get enough water in the right places, it should be patently obvious now. Take the time to address any problems with your irrigation now so that your plants will have a fighting chance to recover in time for winter. Here are Desiree Gardens, we’ve partnered with Irrigreen, the cutting edge of sprinkler technology. We can make sure your lawn is getting exactly…
August: Time to start planning your fall garden!
The heat is still here, and the rains haven’t been consistent for quite some time. But the good news is that fall rains and cooler weather are right around the corner. Now is the time to get your garden ready for its fall glory. If you’ve been waiting to trim and prune your oak trees, the end of August is the perfect time when it is safe to do so. Unlike most other trees and woody shrubs, oaks in North Texas should be pruned in the heat of summer. This is due to the prevalence of the oak wilt fungus, which is transmitted to open cuts by the nitidulid beetle, also known as the sap beetle. These beetles are attracted to the sap that is released from wounds on oak trees, but the fungus that these beetles transmit is much less active here in North Texas during the hot summer…
July Gardens: Lantanas, Crape Myrtles, and LOTS of water!
It’s hot. The rains have pretty much stopped for the summer. Hurrican Beryl brought some rain to the eastern portions of North Texas, but most of the DFW metroplex and points west missed out on that drenching. What’s left to do in the garden? Well there’s plenty to do, including planting some of our favorite heat-loving perennials and annual color. It’s time to pay close attention to your irrigation system if you have one and, if you don’t, make sure that you are hand watering at least every other day. This is a wonderful time to select and plant your crape myrtles. They should be in bloom at your local nursery so it’s easy to pick out your favorite colors. The same applies to lantanas and other small blooming perennial shrubs. When planting these new additions it is absolutely crucial that they are deeply watered in, and that they continue…
June Gardens: Oaks, Annuals, and Irrigation
The summer heat has set in, and it looks like it’s here to stay for a few months. Luckily we’ve had a very wet and rainy spring, and the beginning of summer looks to be no different. The El Niño system that has been working the Pacific Ocean has brought us the blessing of all this rain, but there is a 60% chance that this could change between the end of this month and August. Hopefully the transition from El Niño to La Niña will occur later rather than sooner and we’ll continue to have a mild wet summer. Additionally, forecasts are currently calling for an increase in the number of hurricanes and tropical storms in the Gulf and Atlantic this year. While nobody hopes for hurricanes, increased tropical moisture streaming north into Texas can help provide an incease in rainfall through the end of summer and autumn. That being…
