Be vigilant in your dead-heading. Perennials that are not regularly dead-headed can stop flower production and go to seed long before they have to. Prune some of the more prolific self seeding plants to disrupt their flower formation. Many varieties of Oregano and Chives flower simultaneously on all stems if not trimmed. While the birds love the seed windfall, you may not like the shaggy appearance. May 26, 2010, The Coutts Blueberry Farm Market is now open!

The 2009 Pennsylvania Garden Expo was canceled. The organizers felt that due to the recession the show would lack the vendors and attendance needed to be successful. For months their website PAGardenExpo.org had a notice about the cancellation. JCPSep 1, 2009, The Summer That Never Was!September's Harvest Moon is almost upon us, but this year has not yielded much of a harvest. The tremendous amount of rain has ruined gardens all over our region. Unless you have ideal drainage and great sun exposure you have most likely suffered some serious damage. I have gotten reports from a number of Pocono gardeners who report fruit and vegetables rotting on the plant before they ripen. Powdery mildew is rampant. Others report a huge increase in slug and snail damage. The good news is there's always next year! Here's to hoping that next year brings more favorable growing conditions. Please visit your local Farmer's Market or Farm Stand to purchase veggies, fruit and decorative corn stalks, gourds and pumpkins. Farmers need our support this year. They have been hit with a double whammy. Recession and poor weather. Think sun! Permalink -- click for full blog post "The Summer That Never Was!" Jul 8, 2009, The Full Buck MoonIt is July already.
