Lace Bug Damage
We mentioned this topic in last years Aug. Newsletter, but many continue to request help for the pictured leaf damage on broad leaf evergreens like Rhododendrons. The damaged noted in the picture results from the sucking of the tiny Lace Bug on the leaf’s underside. We find the best solution is Bayer Advanced Tree & Shrub Insect Control. It’s important to apply it right away if you note the tell-tale discolorations.
August Garden To Do List
Continue to water, weed and monitor for insects on all garden plants. In times of prolonged hot weather, first water all newly planted trees and shrubs, and perennials. Monitor for Japanese beetle damage. These iridescent insects skeletonize foliage of roses, grapevines and linden, maple, elm, birch and crab apple trees. Hand-remove them by knocking them into a jar of soapy water. Continue to water newly planted trees and shrubs each week if rainfall is insufficient. Watch closely for signs of scorch on tender new foliage of trees and shrubs — the margins of leaves turn brown and crispy — indicating lack of water.
Pruning is generally not advised this month, with the exception of shrubs that should be pruned immediately following their flowering. Continue to deadhead annuals and perennials to encourage additional flowers. Allow certain dried flower heads to remain standing for fall and winter interest, including astilbe, coneflower, sedum, Siberian Iris. and others.
Water container gardens as needed. Continue to feed container plants with Nursery Select Growth Food For Containers twice a month.
Consider planting chrysanthemums, anemones, asters or other fall-flowering plants to further extend flowering season. The earlier the mum is planted in your garden, the greater the chance of survival over winter. Mulch newly planted perennials immediately.
Remove yellowing daylily foliage or leaves that are browned and spotted. Green leaves must remain on the plant to continue to manufacture food. Deadhead individual flowers to keep plants looking tidy.
Daylilies can be divided and replanted or new plants can be installed at the end of this month. Peonies can be planted at the end of this month and into early fall.
During the first week of August, plant short-season snap beans, broccoli, cabbages, cauliflower, carrots, mustard greens, spinach and radishes for fall harvesting.
