Seasonal tips
- Succession sow bush beans and cowpeas every two weeks for a continuous harvest through late summer.
- Mulch around heavy feeders like corn, squash, and melons to retain moisture and suppress weeds as temperatures rise.
- Pinch back the tops of basil and borage regularly to encourage bushier growth and prevent flowering.
Keep watch
Pest & disease watch
- Watch for aphids on new growth of zinnias, cosmos, and nasturtiums; spray with water or insecticidal soap if needed.
- Monitor squash and cucumbers for vine borers and cucumber beetles which can damage foliage and fruit.
- Check the undersides of okra and bean leaves for spider mites in this dry heat.
Water
Watering this week
Provide deep, consistent watering at the base of plants every 2-3 days to prevent blossom drop on squash and melons.
One more thing
Harvest acorn and butternut squash when they have fully ripened and developed a hard rind for best winter storage.
