Tip of the Month
July: By now you should have had the first wave of blossoms on your established plants, so it's time for dead-heading, that is, picking off any dead and dying blossoms and seed pods that may not have already fallen to the ground. While these are hanging on, your plants will try to produce seeds, and that takes away from producing more blossoms. If growth at a tip where there were blossoms seems to have stopped, pinch it back to the next lower node where there is some growth. This will stimulate new growth and another round of blossoms.
