Plants and flowers can be so gorgeous at their peak, and there is nothing better than smelling their aroma throughout the summer breeze in the middle of summer.  Most people enjoy watching their plants and flowers grow.

With typical Kansas summers, plants and flowers are going to need extra water.  If you don’t have an irrigation system then you probably need to water them yourself or find someone to water them for you. The best time to water is in the early morning or in the evening.

I have had a few plants this summer that just don’t look healthy and have wondered if I have been doing something wrong.  It is important to know that each plant has specific weather needs and those should be considered.  Be aware of these factors and if you are not one who likes to give attention to your plants, a better route might be low maintenance plants.

Plants that don’t need a lot of water and like to be in full sun or full shade might be an easier route.  Keep in mind the dimensions of your yard and shade vs. sun so that you can plant things in the areas of your yard that will give them the shade or sun that they need.  If they are getting the sun, shade, and water that they need and still are not doing as well as they should be, a soil sample might help.
