Monthly Gardening tip:
July is tree and shrub planting time!!
Yes, you can plant trees and shrubs in July; Landscapers, which I am,  don't stop planting this month.

1.  Be careful, though.  dig your hole twice as wide as the pot or root-ball and half-again as deep.

2.  Muddy that hole from preventing dry soil around dry soil around it wicking away any moisture.

3.  Plant no deeper than 1" above the top root...WARNING: planting too deep causes the plant to die. 

4.  Deep water at least once a week during the hot season; sprinklers that come on for your lawn will NOT water deep enough.

5.  Make sure that plant is situated i the correct exposure.  Shade plants will burn up in the sun; sun plants will not  grow well or at all in the shade.  Any questions, come in and I will help you out. 

6.  Use only 1/3 the amount of amrndment to your backfill....The plant needs to get used to your native soil.
