HORT REPORT
Prairies in our area are blooming with spectacular native plants! From local parks to rural roadsides, these treasures offer eye-catching bursts of color to the landscape. An added bonus... they attract pollinators, too!
With the excessive rains we received recently, weeds are attempting to dominate landscapes and gardens. Try to keep ahead of them and get them under control. A good layer of mulch can be helpful to suppress weed growth. Remember, bark mulch decomposes, so mulch may be needed in areas which haven't been mulched in the last few years.
Powdery mildew is becoming visible on some perennials due to high humidity. Allow some space between susceptible perennials to aid in air flow and increased ventilation to manage this disease.
Happy gardening!
