Keep annual flowers blooming by pinching expired blossoms. Install heat tolerant annuals.

Feed vegetables & fruit trees per fertilizer label.

Keep vegetables picked as they ripen. This discourages pests and can increase production.

Sod can be placed to repair winter kill. If using grass seed water daily until grass emerges.

Check palms for nutrient deficiencies and correct with palm fertilizer.

Be on the lookout for citrus leaf miners on new leaves. Apply oil spray to deter activity.
