Just a quick note to say that we are seeing a drop in rainfall totals. We had normal or above normal rain levelsfor July, but most of August was a little on the dry side.
If you dont have irrigation, a few of your plants may be getting thirsty.
Any perennials,shrubs, trees new in the ground less than a year need TLC.
Many established plants will be fine, especially hostas, coneflowers, many sunlovers. But keep your roses watered regularly, your astilbes, your vegetable gardens, dogwood trees, rhododendrons, and again, any new plantings which are still trying to establish mature root systems.
Our temperatures are great and we human types are probably really enjoying the fall-like weather. Thank goodness we are not having extreme heat typical of August. Don't forget your plants in pots too, give them a drink on your way outside.
