Summer begins
Leif has a new article posted in the library. Here’s the first paragraph:
The official beginning of summer on June 21st means that good opportunities for landscaping projects lie ahead. With the long days this time of year plants that are properly planted and receive adequate and consistent water can really root into their new locations in a hurry. The whole plant world is in high gear. With 15 ½ hours of daylight, plants mushroom in size both above and below ground when soil, sunlight, moisture and nutrient availability are ideal. It never ceases to amaze me just hoe much root growth can occur in a short time when everything is to the liking of the plant.
Leif’s articles appear in the Wednesday edition of the Northfield News, in the Farm and Garden section, just behind the sports page. All his previous articles are archived in our web library, going back to 2001.
