The garden is a place of endless possibilities during the summer months, and there are plenty of tasks to keep you busy this week. Propagating cactus and succulents is a great idea, but make sure to wait a week after detaching a pad or stem to allow a protective layer to form. Cutting back berry canes that have finished producing is essential for future crops, while also training non-fruiting canes along a fence or trellis. As fire season begins in Southern California, consider using nonflammable inorganic mulches like crushed aggregate, decomposed granite, or river rock to help protect your garden.
If you’re going away this summer, there are ways to keep your indoor plants hydrated, such as using a clear plastic bag to create a humid environment around the plant or using a self-watering container. When harvesting unripe tree fruit, wait until it ripens before refrigerating it to maximize its shelf life.
