MAY TIPS
Always mow cool season grasses, like tall fescue and bluegrass, at a height of 3 inches. Mowing the lawn too close weakens the grass and permits many weeds to invade your lawn. Mow zoysia grass and Bermuda grass to a height of 2 -3 inches and fertilize them in July, not in the fall. During periods of rapid growth in the spring you may need to mow your lawn twice each week. Try not to remove more than 1/3 of the grass blade at each mowing.
Mulches should be applied only 2-3 inches deep and kept away from tree trunks. Mature trees do not benefit from being mulched except that the mulch ring keeps lawn mowers and string trimmers from damaging your trees.
Did your garden get over taken by weeds last year? Take action now, before weeds become unmanageable. Consider the following options around plants and between rows: dried grass clippings, sections of newspaper covered with straw, black landscape fabric or black plastic mulch. The latter two will also warm the soil and hasten the harvesting of warm-season vegetables like melons, eggplant, tomatoes and peppers.
Ticks are very active now. Wear light colored clothing and get in the habit of checking yourself, your children and pets closely for ticks after spending time outdoors. Repellents are also effective at keeping ticks at bay. Deer tick populations (also known as Black legged ticks) are especially high around the Chesapeake Bay.
Plant food plants this spring for butterfly larvae. Fennel and parsley attract swallowtails and butterfly weed attracts monarchs.
