GET THE DIRT

By Kathy Schwartz, Murray County Master Gardener Continue picking leaf lettuce as the outer leaves reach 4 to 6 inches. Replant now for fall.

If you want to shade your air conditioner or patio, consider a vine-covered trellis. Look for solutions to any narrow space that needs shade or screening.

Do not fertilize annuals where you used a slow release fertilizer, which is still providing annuals with the nutrients they need.
