Frequently Asked Questions About Gardening
How can I get rid of weeds?
Weeds are likely poking through in the garden beds, even if you put down landscape fabric liner to keep them at bay. Be sure to get them before the weeds' flowers dry out and and drop their seeds. Pull out weeds from the root in edible gardens, and dig up the roots if the weed snapped off without them. 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-duty rubber gloves to ensure that the chemical doesn't touch your lungs or skin.
Is crispy grass 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 to verify though: If you can easily pull out a blade of grass with no resistance, it's time to plant new sod or grass 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.
Can I grow cucumbers vertically?
As the veggies and plants grow, keeping your harvest healthy is easier. You can see any pests or evidence of wildlife eating your produce and act accordingly. When your fruits and vegetables mature and are ready to pick, you'll see them right away, so you can enjoy them at peak freshness. If these same plants grow along the ground, it's easy to miss your first harvest among the shadowy leaves. Supporting the plants as they grow upright means your upkeep will be less overwhelming when they're huge at the end of summer.
How do I keep my vegetable plants healthy?
After you've planted your plants or flowers, make sure they're hydrated and well-fed. 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 your plants, whether you need a flower fertilizer, fertilizer for veggie plants, 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.
Do patio misters cool the air?
When you need a break from working in the yard, shelter under a patio umbrella or covered gazebo. Add awnings and shade sails to the house or shed to create shady spots. However, sometimes shade isn't enough because it's just too humid. 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 lounging in the sun when that water-cooled air is ready.
How do I entertain on the patio?
Backyard entertaining is whatever you'd like it to be — it doesn't have to be a garden party. If you're focused on firing up the grill, make sure you know how to clean a grill afterward. Many people simply relax outdoors and chat all afternoon. Whichever path you take for bonding with friends, extend the fun into the evening with proper outdoor lighting and a bug-free summer yard without pesky mosquitos.

As summer rolls in, your garden and landscaping will weather more sun and heat than earlier in the season. That means you'll need to consider how to keep things cool with proper tending, irrigation, and shade. Just like we can get sunburned, grass and annuals can get scorched, and trees can lose their leaves prematurely. Let us help. At The Home Depot Tool Garden Center in Riverview, we've got what you need to make the most of summer.
Grow a Healthy Lawn
If you're worried that your lawn has straw-like blades of grass, don't worry just yet. It's possible that you've got a cool season grass that goes to sleep and turns brown in the summertime heat. If that's the case, it won't be a patchy brown, but brown all over. Gently tug out a blade of grass to check the roots: If it comes right out, the grass is probably dead and will need to be replaced with new sod or grass seed. If it doesn't come right out, it's dormant. That means it's growing and resting beneath the surface. Water dormant grass deeply once or twice each week, but avoid fertilizer.
For warm-season grass that stays green in the summer, water a bit every few days and deeply once a week. The amount of water should add up to about an inch per week. Avoid overwatering, and let the lawn dry out after heavy rains before you get out the garden hose or sprinkler again. If it's especially hot out, water when the top two inches of soil is dry to the touch. It's ok to let the grass grow a little taller this time of the year, as cutting your lawn too short isn't healthy for it.
Watch Your Garden Thrive
You'll need to water your garden hydrate it between rainstorms and keep the summer flowering going. A general rule when watering flowers and plants is to aim the water at the roots. A drip irrigation system, sprinkler, or garden hose will do the job. You don't need to water or even mist the blooms themselves. Many flowers wilt when they get wet, but they'll recover just fine once they dry off. Succulents are an exception to basic watering rules, so look up your specific types of succulents to optimize their care.
In addition to watering them regularly, monitor your plants' nutrient intake. Add fertilizer as recommended. We've even got fertilizers to match the plants you're growing so they'll enjoy a balanced diet with the right nutrients.
Vertical Edible Gardening
If you like to grow your own food, take it vertical and consider growing organically. Many vegetable plants are vines and well-suited to climb a trellis or fence, so plant them next to one. The key to success is supporting the fruit, branches, and stem. This is so the weight of the plant doesn't snap the branches or stem.
Fasten your plant to a trellis, pole, or tomato cage with string, plant ties and wires, garden wire, or fabric strips. Be sure to attach each plant loosely. Then the stem has room to grow wider and the leaves and branches can sway in the breeze. Strawberries, watermelon, squash, cucumbers, and tomatoes need support as they bear fruit. Melons and squash require hammocks made of stretchy fabric, string, old nylons, or a sling to support the heavy produce. All of these plants take up less space on the ground when grown vertically, which allows you to have walking room in between plants or fit more of them.
Vines as Decorative Shade
Plant vines near an arbor or trellis so they'll climb the structure and give you both shade and beauty. Go with native vines to attract hummingbirds, butterflies, and bees. Grape vines are a classic choice, but they take time to mature, so you'll have shade without grapes for a few years. Remember to match your vine plants to how much sunshine you receive, as not all of them thrive in full sun. As a bonus, many vines put out sweet-smelling flowers with a delightful fragrance you can enjoy.
