Attention Peonies Growers!
If you grow peonies, place peony rings around the plants before they become too big and hard to corral. It’s a lot easier to guide the stems of this top-heavy perennial into a ring than to stake individual stalks. After the peony flowers have passed, the rings can be useful keeping other exuberant growers in line later in the summer.

Plant Crops Based on Temperature
It’s been a cold wet spring
so far, making now a good time to start your vegetable garden. Cold
weather crops – lettuce, peas and onions, for example – can be planted
now. But many vegetables everyone loves: tomatoes, beans and squash, want
soil temperatures of 60 or 70 degrees (or higher), which may appear until June.
Lay out your garden and put up a fence now, but delay purchasing pots of
tomato, pepper, melon and other hot weather crops until it is closer to the
time to set them out. Your garden will be more bountiful for starting at
the right time.

Mulching Tips
If you apply mulch in your flower beds, remember not to overdo. Two inches of mulch is usually enough to prevent weeds from germinating. Just as important, more mulch isn’t better. A too-thick layer (of three or more inches) blocks sunlight and prevents rising temperatures from warming the soil.
