Garden Mums Did you know spring-planted garden mums are hardy mums? They are more likely to return and bloom the following year than a fall planted mum. - If you allow spring mums to flower for only a short period of time, then keep the buds pinched off until July 4th, they will have an excellent fall color .
- Cut mums back in the fall and cover with a layer of mulch. Be sure to remove mulch when temperatures begin to rise in the spring.

Vegetables The only way to experience vegetables at their prime is to grow them yourself. For best results, harvest your vegetables the day you plan to eat them, preferably early in the morning. Sprinkle them lightly with water and store them in a cool place until you're ready to prepare them. Some vegetables, such as parsnips, carrots and potatoes, keep well in the ground until needed. Others have a short harvest window and should be picked promptly when ripe. | |

|  | What Do All Those Letters and Numbers Mean? Fertilizers are labeled with three numbers. These numbers represent the ratio of nitrogen (N), phosphate (P) and potassium (K). In basic terms, nitrogen promotes foliage growth, phosphate encourages healthy root growth and flower production and potassium promotes the overall health of the plant by building disease resistance. |
