Lawn

• Apply Systemic Fungicide containing Banner or Fertilome F-Stop to prevent early summer fungal infections.
  (The use of sulfur will help prevent ticks, fleas and ants, while organically improving the quality of your soil.)
• Bermuda & St. Augustine:
  Fertilize with LCV quick release fertilizer for a good green up.
  Use a pre-emergent to prevent weeds.
  Spread 1” of peat moss to St. Augustine if affected by take-all root rot.
  St. Augustine sod can be planted now, also Bermuda sod and seed can be planted.
  Increase water, to 2-3x per week.
• Fescue:
  Fertilize with a quick release fertilizer to maintain growth.
  Watering increased to 3-4x per week.
  Raise mower to 3.5-4 inches tall.

Trees & Plants

• Fertilize trees and shrubs if you didn’t in March. Also, feed Pecan trees with Zinc.
• Unwrap any palms that may have been wrapped over the winter.
• Use Amaze in beds that have weed problems as a prevention.
• Spray systemic fungicides on plants that are susceptible to powdery mildew. (Ex. Euonymus)
• It is a great time for planting.
  Availability is at its peak.
• Use Florel to prevent acorns on oak trees when the tassels are ¾ of an inch long.

Flowers

• It is planting season after danger of frost for flowering annuals and perennials.
• Plant summer flowering bulbs.
• Prep any beds you will be planting with compost and fertilizer

Garden

• Plant your tomatoes and peppers this month after danger of freeze.
• Feed your garden monthly. (Dried molasses benefits microbes the same way sugar does to kids.)
• Mulch beds with 2 inches of cypress or cedar mulch to slow down water loss and cool the ground during the summer.
