July Gardening

Here are your July Gardening tasks, June proved to be a scorcher so if it continues please do your July Gardening early in the day or as (if) it cools off.

DeVita

I have been spending 10-20 minutes each morning possible weeding.  Since I took my lawn out last year and planted water wise plants, that pesky devil grass comes back in spots even though I sheet mulched!  It took a while (I used cardboard) so I was lulled into thinking that I’d beaten it the first time.  WRONG!  So that is one of my July Gardening chores (as well as pretty much every month).

July Gardening - Verbena rigida

I am happy to watch all the plants growing in and know that eventually the weeding will be less and less a part of my life.  My verbena rigida looks exceptionally pretty these days and is really starting to spread.  I just love this plant and don’t even mind when it freezes a little in the winter.  I feel like that means less pruning for me!

July Gardening - rain garden carex

The carex in my rain garden also looks great,  filling in and melding with my Miscanthus capensis which will put on quite a show come autumn.

July Gardening - Salvia Spathacea

My salvia spathacea is getting big, and I see a blossom starting on one of the plants,  I just hope it doesn’t bloom while I’m out of town!  The hummingbirds love it and I love my hummingbirds.

Next month at reminder time I hope to show you a few more water wise plants doing their thing so that you can see what works well her in Santa Clarita.
