Frequently Asked Questions About Gardening
How can I get rid of weeds?
Weeds might start peeking through in the garden beds, even if you put down mulch to keep them at bay. Pull out weeds from the root in edible gardens, and dig up the roots if the weed snapped off without them. Be sure to get rid of weeds before they go to seed. If you'd like to treat weeds with weed killer, check that it's safe for pets and pollinators — and wear a respirator and heavy rubber gloves to ensure that it doesn't touch your lungs or skin.
Is my yard dead?
It could be, but it's also likely napping during those soaring summer temps. Cool-season grass goes dormant in the summer, so it's alive but sleeping. You can check on it though: If you can easily pull out a blade of grass with no resistance, it's time to plant new sod or seed because the grass is a goner. Water dormant lawns deeply and infrequently. Warm-season lawns need water every few days in the summer. Those lawns stay green if they're healthy.
When should I water my flower garden?
If you can water during the early morning or in the evening, that's ideal. Watering during the heat of the day means a lot of the moisture will evaporate. This applies to whatever you're growing: grass, trees, vegetables, and plants. Whenever you water, give all the plants a thorough drink. The plants still need hydration regardless of the time on the clock. Depending on your lawn's health, grass type, and climate, you may also want to look into applying an organic lawn fertilizer.
When do I fertilize my plants?
After you've planted your plants or flowers, you'll need to make sure they stay well-fed and hydrated. Choose a synthetic or an organic fertilizer that fits your needs and give your garden a boost. You can even find one that's formulated for the plants you're growing, whether you need a vegetable fertilizer, flower fertilizer, or a general garden fertilizer blend. Only apply as often as instructed on the packaging. Be sure to water immediately after, as directed, so the plants won't be burned by the fertilizer.
Can I make shady places to stay cool in the summer?
When you need a break from working in the yard, shelter beneath a patio umbrella or covered gazebo. Attach awnings and shade sails to the house or shed to create shadowy spots to rest under. However, sometimes shade isn't enough because it's too humid out. That's when a patio mister or misting fan can help cool the air and turn a stifling afternoon into a refreshingly relaxing day. Go back to swinging in a hammock when that water-cooled air is ready.
How do I entertain on the patio?
Backyard entertaining is whatever you find enjoyable — it doesn't have to be a garden party. If you're focused on firing up the grill, make sure you know how to prep your grill for summer for a delicious outcome. Many people simply relax outdoors and chat all day or maybe cook a meal in an outdoor kitchen instead. Whichever path you take for bonding with friends, extend the fun into the evening with proper outdoor lighting and a bug-free yard without pesky mosquitos.

As we stretch into summer, your garden and landscaping will weather more intense heat and UV rays than earlier in the year. You'll need to consider how to keep things cool with proper tending, shade, and irrigation. Just like we can get sunburned, grass and garden flowers can get scorched, and trees can lose their leaves prematurely. Let us help. At The Home Depot Tool Garden Center in Manhattan 59Th Street, we've got what you need to make the most of summer.
Lawn Repair and Patching
Burnt, or scorched, grass has an oddly shaped discoloration that isn't green. It happens when a reflective surface shines continuously on your lawn or plastic or metal sits on the grass and bakes in the sunlight. You'll usually discover it when you move something that's been sitting out in the yard, like a garden hose or sprinkler. Car mirrors or windows can also scorch grass when the sun angle is right.
Water burnt grass well and wait a week. You should see the signs of life returning by then. If it needs neutralizing after urine damage, you'll need to replace the grass or use patch and repair seed to fix it up.
Whether you're doing upkeep on your current lawn or patching the sparse spots, keep in mind which type of grass it is. Match the kind of grass to your lawn if you're doing patch repair. When planting new grass, choose a variety that works with the amount of sun your lawn gets. For example, if your lawn is shaded by trees and gets partial shade or dappled sun, make sure you plant grass that's not meant for full sun.
Watch Your Garden Thrive
Water your garden to keep it going between rainstorms and keep the summer flowering humming along. A general rule when watering flowers is to aim the water at the roots. A garden hose, sprinkler system, or drip irrigation system can get the job done. You don't need to water or even mist the blooms themselves. Many flowers droop and wilt when but recover when they dry off. Succulents are, of course, the exception to basic watering rules, so look up your specific types of succulents to optimize their care.
In addition to watering them regularly, monitor the nutrients your plants are getting. Use fertilizer as recommended. We've even got fertilizers to match the plants you're growing so they'll get the proper nutrients.
Grow Your Own Herbs
For savory flavors to accent your homegrown produce, add herbs. They're generally low-maintenance and grow easily in pots, both indoors and outdoors. If you grow herbs outdoors, stick to heat-loving herbs that'll endure the summer temperatures, and consider a hanging herb garden.
It can be tricky to plant herbs in the ground, as many of them — especially mint — are invasive and will take over your yard. So grow them in small decorative pots on a sunny window sill, porch, or even in wall planters. Herbs also work well in a hydroponic garden, which means they don't grow in soil. Instead, they grow in a mixture of rock chips, perlite, or sand.
Trees as Natural Shade
Trees are the ultimate natural source of shade, They can change the look of your yard. Whether you plant a few trees as accents, a few more to bear fruit, or a whole mini-forest, keep in mind this is a long-term commitment. When they're healthy, trees live many decades — and some for hundreds of years. Before you shop, plan so you know how to plant a tree, whether they're deciduous trees, evergreen saplings, or more mature trees.
A backyard forest may be the stuff of dreams, but research what you're planting beforehand. Consider the full-grown size of the trees, how far the roots extend outward and how deep the taproots go. Plant your trees far from water pipes, as their strong roots will seek water and wend into piping to get it. A tree with a full canopy of leaves catches wind like a sail, so make sure it's planted a safe distance from your home. If you've planned accordingly, found trees you love, and know the perfect places to put them, get planting. That way, you can enjoy the leaves rustling in the breeze and dappled shade sooner rather than later.
