Yesterday i saw my first Summer patch of 2012, There are fungicides that will help with this issue, many times cooloer weather and proper irrigation from 4am-10am will help reduce this issue, plus clean your mower deck and mow your lawn dry!

Hi Garden Talk Bloggers
The weather folks simply promised most of us water this last Monday into Tuesday and the they simply missed the forecast. Most of the rain went south of Dayton. At our Nursery and Farm we our irrigating 24 hours 7 day's a week. Even though most of you don't have the as much plant material and edibles to keep alive as our farm operation does, but its time to water your property and its valuable plant investments! Those same weather folks are…

I have a problem. I have a cherry tree but the cherries are not turning red. This happened last year too. What could the problem be? I heard not enough bees to pollinate is this true?

Found throughout Ohio, this native is actual in the Impatien family. Found in shady landscapes, I have seen it near Poison Ivy , not sure if they are not true biological partners . Some say its seeds rubbed on your skin will relive the itch of Poison Ivy.

Thank you so much for all of the hard work the crew did yesterday at my home under not so nice weather conditions. As always, the landscape looks fantastic. Please thank your staff for me too.
This weather is something else! We can certainly be thankful, though, that we are not in Alabama or any of the states hit so hard by the recent tornadoes.
Thanks again; it looks beautiful.
Kathy R. Weisenbach
