By David Ackley 4-H Youth Development/ Ag and Natural Resources Educator The spring rain has led to a large sea of green plants and grasses in the lawns and landscaping through- out the county. In between rain showers there are ma- ny techniques and activities that can be done to help with the plants you have around your house. Rosie Lerner, Home/Con- sumer Horticulture with Purdue University has a monthly calendar that she puts out with sections relat- ed to Home, Yard, and Gar- den. She defines the Home section as houseplants and indoor activities. • You can move house- plants outdoors to a shady location, but pay close atten- tion to their watering needs. • Cut garden flowers for indoor beauty. Recut the stems again just before plac- ing in water. Add a floral pre- servative, and change the solution frequently. The Yard section includes lawns, woody ornamentals, and fruits. • Propagate deciduous shrubs by stem tip cuttings. • Remove faded flow- ers and seed pods on lilac and other spring-flowering shrubs. • Mow grass regularly but mow high to help pro- tect plant crowns from heat stress. • Unless excessive, leave lawn clippings on the lawn. Finally the Garden sec- tions consists of vegetables, small fruits, and flowers. • Discontinue harvest- ing asparagus and rhu- barb around mid-June to al- low foliage to develop and store food reserves for next year's harvest. Fertilize and water when dry to promote healthy growth. • Blanch (exclude light from) cauliflower when heads are just two inches in diameter. Tie leaves up and over the developing head. • Remove cool-season plants, such as radish, spin- ach, and lettuce, because they will bolt (that is, form seed stalks) during hot sum- mer weather. • Remove the spent blooms of peony, iris, del- phiniums, and other flowers. • Pinch the shoot tips of chrysanthemums, impa- tiens, petunias, and coleus to promote bushier growth. Rosie Lerner is just one of the many experts that Pur- due Extension has to offer to Pike County, her infor- mation can be found by go- ing to the Horticulture and Landscape Architecture homepage at the following link https://ag.purdue.edu/ hla/ .
