Tips supplied by Wade and Ernestine Woodall

• Start seeds of flowers and vegetables to be ready for setting out in August and September.
• Prune hydrangeas after blooming.
• Water warm-season grasses every couple of weeks if it does not rain.
• Mulch valuable trees and shrubs, but not more than 3-4 inches deep, and keep 6 inches from trunks.
• Deadhead spent annuals for more bloom and cut back some annuals to encourage bushing.
• Inspect house plants, which have been set, for insect contamination.
