Hello Everyone!

It's late Spring a lot of your weeds are up and growing but not yet fully mature – apply a good broad leaf weed killer – soon the ones you missed when they were young is strong and big now and hard to pull, especially if the soil is dry; the best time to pull weeds are after the rain or just water them then pull. You can use My Weed Treatment  (see Forum – Killer Weeds) or the next best thing is to lop off their heads with a sharp hoe or string trimmer – mower will do if space allow. Whatever you do, don't let them shed their seeds in your garden – one weed equals many years of seeds.

Eventually, Creative Blossoms will have a weed workshop; but, until then if you have any questions just ask or leave a cutting at the shop for inspection or send pictures via email to creativeblossoms@nycreativeblossoms.com .

And here is a little secret of mine for those who have a weed problem with weeds that have long roots locate and expose the root tail cut it and gently pull up the entire part that leads to the leaves and discard without shaking…the lower end, having expose the undersides take some rolled up newspaper and insert the root into newspaper, and cover it with soil or mulch. It will prevent weeds coming from that area of the cutting and prevent weeds from jumping below end of newspaper. You will be using what I call 'Recycling Roundup' it works everytime and last through the summer unless you get large amounts of rain.

Watch for the Weed Workshop!

Perennially,
