GARDEN GATE
Hello fellow gardening enthusiasts!
Hello fellow gardeners!
Summer is in full swing here in the gardens. Thousands of pounds of tomatoes, bell peppers, cucumbers, zucchini, eggplant, tree fruit
and lettuce are finding their way to the daily menus for our residents. We will keep up this pace through the end of August. Residents
and children in our “Seed to Table” program have enjoyed the cherry tomatoes and corn in the Children’s Garden.
Don’t let our summer heat slow you down from continuing to plant your favorite summer vegetables. Make sure your flower beds and
color gardens are well mulched to cool down the soil temperatures, retain moisture and fend off weeds. Check your irrigation system
for clogging to maximize your watering patterns. Perform light pruning on your citrus and deciduous fruit trees to keep them managea-
ble for ease of harvest.
This month’s free Garden Lecture will be held on Saturday, July 20st @ 10:30 am. Our speaker will be Connie Beck, Horticultural Con-
sultant, telling us how to tackle “Hillside Gardening”. So stay cool and don’t let our Poway heat keep you from the enjoyment of work-
ing in the garden!
