At Bob’s Garden Center in South Jersey, we know that summer gardening is about more than just planting—it’s about daily care, observation, and providing the right support for your plants to flourish. Whether you’re growing vegetables, flowers, or both, following a few simple habits can make all the difference in the health and productivity of your garden.
Visit Your Garden Every Day
Spending just 10 mindful minutes a day in your garden can not only help your plants—it can help you! Take this time to:
- Pull a few weeds
- Harvest ripe produce
- Observe how your plants are doing
Daily garden walks help you catch problems early, relieve stress, and stay connected to your plants.
Water Deeply and Consistently
Consistent watering is key, especially during hot and dry stretches. If Mother Nature isn’t supplying rain, it’s up to you to step in:
- Water deeply at the base of the plants—don’t just sprinkle the surface.
- Avoid wetting the leaves and fruit, which can encourage fungal diseases.
- Consider adding mulch to help retain moisture and reduce the frequency of watering.
Learn to Manage Pests
If something’s eating your tomatoes or nibbling on your leaves, it’s time to take action.
- Visit Bob’s for advice on safe, effective pest control options.
- Learn how to identify common summer pests and how to keep them at bay.
- Stay proactive: daily observation helps you catch issues early!
Don’t Forget to Mulch
If you find your soil is drying out too quickly, mulch can be a game-changer:
- Mulch helps lock in moisture, regulate soil temperature, and suppress weeds.
- Choose from organic mulches like straw, bark, or compost—ask our team what’s best for your beds.
