Five things to do in the garden this week:
A tree crutch is a Y-shaped device that is stuck on the end of a pipe or pole whose diameter is up to 1.5 inches. Alternatively, the crutch fits snugly on the end of 2 x 2” pressure-treated lumber. A tree crutch is made from hard plastic that endures temperature extremes. You can find this device for around $8 through online vendors. It will support branches up to three inches in diameter.
The three most recommended categories of plants for this purpose are cannas, elephant ears , and red Abyssinian banana . Canna tropicana has leaves pinstriped in gold, green, crimson, and orange along with orange blooms, but there are cannas with yellow, pink, red, or white flowers and dwarf varieties as well. Black Magic and Black Coral are elephant ear varieties with deep purple foliage verging on black.

Protect ripening melons from rodents by constructing cages for them from hardware cloth, another name for wire mesh. sold by the foot, with rectangular openings of various sizes.
