Quick Tips

• Water your flowers everyday, depending on the weather. If it rains you still need to check your flowers to see if they actually received any of that rain. If you have a lot of flowers and foliage, the soil probably didn't get enough water.
  
• Combination baskets should receive about 2 quarts of water everyday. Fertilize them with 1 tablespoon of Miracle Grow in a gallon of water once a week. When going away for the weekend with no one to take care of your flowers, water them really well and put them in either the garage or in a shady area until you return.
  
• Some plants are aggressive growers and might need a hair cut throughout the summer. Petunias and potato vine are two examples of plants which are very aggressive. You can either cut back the straggly ends of the petunias  or cut out a chunk of the potato vine if they are invading the flowers next to them.
