Each week, Joshua Siskin offers five tips to keep your garden happy and healthy.
Five things to do in the garden this week:
1. When planted now, trees of tropical and subtropical origin such as citrus, mango, avocado, macadamia, star fruit, and cherimoya, as well as passion fruit vines and palms, benefit from the warm soil that late summer has to offer. Make sure the root ball and the planting hole are thoroughly saturated prior to planting. Initially, water daily, making sure the root ball stays soaked since it will take a week or two for roots to grow into the surrounding soil. Build a circular berm or hill of soil a few inches outside the trunk and then another berm around the perimeter of the root ball. When you apply water between the two berms, it will soak into the root ball without settling near the crown .
4. Recently I wrote here that as long as a small portion of a tomato is red, you can pick with confidence that it will eventually turn completely red. However, I learned from Tom Volz that even tomatoes picked when still entirely green will eventually turn red if “each green tomato is individually wrapped in newspaper and put in a cardboard box; put the box in a closet and check once a week.” After unwrapping the tomatoes, those that are green should be rewrapped and put back in the closet. This procedure is to be followed until all the tomatoes have turned red.“Whenever you can be watching – that’s my guiding principle.
