Timely, Local TipsNow is the Time to . . .
● Feed roses for third and final time early in August with Dr. Earth Rose and Flower Fertilizer or Bayer All in One Rose & Flower. Do not fertilize after August 15th.
● Monitor roses closely for mildew. If detected, spray with Bonide Rose Rx immediately. Dispose of infected leaves in the trash; do not compost.
● When adding more water, increase your run times. Avoid adding more days or start times. Early morning is always the best time to water. Nighttime watering can cause fungus on grass.
● Inspect irrigation system regularly for leaks, clogged emitters, broken/clogged heads and other problems. Remember to adjust emitters out from the trunk or base of your plants as they grow.
● Continue fertilizing vegetables through the growing season - every 2 to 4 weeks with Dr. Earth Liquid Solutions or every 2 months with Dr. Earth Tomato, Vegetable & Herb Fertilizer.

Planting Success in the Hot Summer ...We'll show you how.
Yes, you can plant during the dog days of summer! Simply follow these guidelines:
Lisa Braginton, "Plant Doctor & Arborist"
1. Make sure the plant is properly watered during the days before transplanting.2. Transplant during the late afternoon or early evening.3. Water the plant immediately before removing from the pot. Soak the root ball.4. Water the hole before placing the plant in it.5. Never leave the roots exposed to sun, heat, or wind. Remove plant from container and place immediately into the hole.6. Fill hole halfway with soil. Apply water with Superthrive to settle soil around the roots, then finish filling hole. 7. Lightly firm soil around the plant.8. Once again, water the whole plant, leaves and all.9. Mulch with a 3 inch layer of Gardner & Bloome Soil Building Compost. Check the plant daily for the first couple of weeks. Depending on the weather and plant, you may need to water twice a day until it becomes established. The larger the plant and/or the less roots to top growth ratio, the more water will be needed.

August High Desert Bird-of-the-Month: Downy Woodpecker The active little Downy Woodpecker is a familiar sight at backyard feeders and in parks and woodlots, where it joins flocks of chickadees and nuthatches, barely outsizing them. An often acrobatic forager, this black-and-white woodpecker is at home on tiny branches or balancing on slender plant galls, sycamore seed balls, and suet feeders. Downies and their larger lookalike, the Hairy Woodpecker, are one of the first identification challenges that beginning bird watchers master. Downy Woodpeckers are small versions of the classic woodpecker body plan. They have a straight, chisel-like bill, blocky head, wide shoulders, and straight-backed posture as they lean away from tree limbs and onto their tail feathers. The bill tends to look smaller for the bird's size than in other woodpeckers. Downy Woodpeckers give a checkered black-and-white impression. The black upperparts are checked with white on the wings, the head is boldly striped, and the back has a broad white stripe down the center. Males have a small red patch on the back of the head. The outer tail feathers are typically white with a few black spots. Downy woodpeckers will eat suet, Bark Butter, peanuts and Cranberry Fare Seed Cylinders from feeders. Fun Facts:
● Woodpeckers have a better sense of smell than most birds and may be able to detect the strong odor of the formic acid that ants, bark beetles and termites excrete (smells like Sweet Tarts).
● Scientific tests have determined that Downy Woodpeckers do actually use the presence or absence of the red patch on the back of other downies's heads to determine whether they are male or female.
