Gardener’s Checklist

For dedicated gardeners, here are suggestions from the California Assn. of Nurserymen on what to do in the garden this week:

Check brown spots in lawns for sodweb worms and grubs.

Clean up around fruit trees and pick any old fruit that could harbor soft rot fungus.

Plant beets and carrots for fall harvest.

Trim off old flowers on summer annuals to prolong blooming.

Plant a kitchen plot of herbs. Many of them are perennial.
