Is your garden feeling the summer heat? Mid-July is the perfect time for a quick mulch refresh. A fresh two-inch layer of mulch instantly tidies up your landscape while doing some heavy lifting for your plants. It will help retain moisture so you water less, cool root systems during high-heat days, and block out pesky summer weeds. Plus, fresh mulch creates a clean backdrop that makes your current summer blooms instantly pop.

If you are watering constantly but your plants are still drooping, the secret isn't watering more often. It is watering deeper. Hot summer watering is all about pushing moisture down to where the roots need it.
Frequent, shallow watering keeps roots near the scorching surface, where they quickly dry out. Instead, give your garden a slow, thorough soak. This coaxes roots to grow deep into cooler, moisture-rich soil. For the best results, water early in the morning before the heat of the day causes major evaporation.

As the summer heat settles in, how you water can make or break your garden's success. Instead of a light daily sprinkle, focus on deep, thorough watering at the base of your plants. This encourages roots to grow deeper into the soil, where it stays cooler and holds moisture longer.
Watering early in the morning is the best way to prevent evaporation and give your plants a chance to hydrate before the sun reaches its peak. It also allows foliage to dry out during the day, which helps prevent disease and keep your garden thriving through the hottest months.
