Late Summer Lawn & Garden Tips

Here are some simple gardening tips for late summer to keep your landscape looking great suggested by Lawn Care Elgin. Our gardens take summer vacations in a manner of speaking. When temperatures exceed 90 degrees and the days begin to shorten after summer solstice, and rain is only an occasional afternoon shower, plants take a break. Growth stops, flowering slows or stops and pollen dries quickly for fruit to set on the garden vegetables. Plants go into a heat or drought dormancy. Think of it as a summer break rather than a loss.
