Ken Lain, the Top 10 Gardener here! Summer's finally arrived in full force, and with all that sunshine and warmth comes explosive growth in your garden.

Remember that heat stress from June and July? Plants feel it too! But now, with cooler temps and welcome rain, they're thriving.

However, along with stunning blooms come some unwelcome guests: tomato worms! Watch for those big green caterpillars munching on your tomatoes and peppers. Luckily, organic solutions like BT spray can help control them.

Speaking of organic solutions, let's talk snail and slug control. These slimy critters can wreak havoc on your garden. We recommend using organic snail and slug bait infused with spinosad, which is safe for pets and birds while keeping your plants happy.

Remember, here at Watters Garden Center, we're all about healthy, sustainable gardening. So come on down and chat with us! We'd love to hear about what's growing in your yard.

Ken Lain the Top 10 Gardener here. If you want to attract hummingbirds to your garden, think of it as crafting a buffet of their favorite blooms.

Baby hummingbirds, in particular, can't resist the vibrant colors and nectar-rich flowers of Penta, Lantana, and Salvia. These little guys have a sweet spot for bright, tubular blossoms, so planting them in your yard is like setting up a VIP section.

To ensure a season-long feast, position these plants in sunny spots where they can thrive. Not only will you enjoy the flurry of hummingbird activity, but your garden will also be bursting with color. Remember, gardening is about creating a space where you and the wildlife feel at home.

Ken and Lisa Lain the top 10 Gardeners here. When choosing between Aspen and Birch trees for your landscape, it all comes down to the look and feel you want to create.

Aspens are a top choice in our region, known for their striking white bark and tall, upright growth that seems to reach for the sky. They thrive in our clay soils and withstand the wind, making them a resilient option.

Birches, on the other hand, offer a softer, more weeping silhouette with a gentle, flowing appearance. They also grow well here, spreading a bit wider than Aspens but without being invasive.

If you're drawn to the natural beauty of the region's forests, quaking Aspens are a native choice that will bring that familiar mountain charm to your yard. For those seeking a graceful, cascading effect, Birches might be your perfect match.

🌲How to Turn Cedar_ Spruce and Cypress Arizona Blue in Color🌲

Ken Lain, the Top 10 Gardener, is here, ready to share some earthy wisdom on how to make your evergreens pop with vibrant color this monsoon season!

Evergreens Love a Little Acid

If you want those cedars, spruces, and cypresses to show off their bluest hues, give them a dose of aluminum sulfate along with their regular 7-4-4 fertilizer. The rain will carry those nutrients deep into the roots, resulting in a stunning transformation.

Phosphorus is the Key to Blooming

Superphosphate is the secret weapon for flowering plants. This phosphorus-rich boost encourages abundant blooms and attracts butterflies and hummingbirds to your garden.

Don't Forget New Plants

Newly planted trees and shrubs need extra attention. To take advantage of the monsoon moisture and establish strong roots, make sure they are well-fertilized with an organic 7-4-4 blend.

Remember:

• Organic fertilizers are the way to go. They nourish both your plants and the beneficial life in your soil.
