Corn gluten prevents the roots of seedling weeds from developing. Without root formation, the weed dies from a lack of water since roots deliver water to the rest of the weed. Meadows Farms recommends Espoma Organic Weed Preventer plus Lawn Food. It should be applied at a rate of 20 pounds per 1,000 square feet. It is important to follow the application rate listed on the bag, using a broadcast spreader to make sure you get even coverage. Apply corn gluten before a rain or water in after application. The application should be done during times of seed germination. Another application in the fall will help control dandelions. Corn gluten will not kill weeds that are already growing

Espoma Organic Weed Preventer plus Lawn Food control 23 types of weeds. It is recommended to apply on a regular schedule. Long term studies show increased weed control if it is applied twice annually. Do not use corn gluten if you are seeding or over-seeding your lawn.

Corn gluten can be used in planting beds to help control weeds. It is completely natural and is safe to use around children and pets.

Benefits of using organic corn gluten

• Prevents dandelions, crabgrass & other common weeds
• Children & pets can play on lawns immediately after application.
• It provides long-lasting greening that won’t burn.
• Made from 100% pure granulated corn gluten.

1. Keeps Weeds Under Control

In my opinion, the most unenjoyable and labor-intensive part of maintaining a garden is weeding. So many hot, humid days in the middle of summer trashing my knees and straining my back trying to pull the fifty-thousand varieties of weeds that invade the garden and rob precious moisture from my plants. Applying mulch is a great way to limit weed growth and save yourself a lot of time and effort later. Mulch blocks light and air from the soil surface, hindering weed growth. It won’t eliminate all weeds, but it will undoubtedly keep numbers under control.

If you’re looking for even more weed protection, apply a weed preventer such as Preen or Espoma Organic Corn Gluten. The pre-emergents will keep any new weeds from taking root, giving your mulched beds an extra layer of protection. You can apply these at the same time that you are mulching and several times throughout the season for best results.

2. Prevents Soil Erosion

Heavy rains can cause erosion in the topsoil of your gardens, which not only limits the amount of soil available but also leeches vital nutrients from the earth that your plants need. Applying mulch in the spring helps keep erosion in check and protects the health of your soil.

3. Regulates Soil Temperature

Mulch is excellent for controlling soil temperatures and protecting your plant’s root systems throughout the growing season. In the heat of the Virginia summers, mulch will help to keep the soil cool by retaining moisture and limiting harsh sunlight. During the dead of winter, mulch will help insulate plant roots from the cold so that they can continue growing strong even if your plants above ground have gone dormant.

4. Enriches the Soil

Throughout the spring, mulch will break down and degrade, which is great for your plants. This process will add nutrients to enhance not only the earth but also attract beneficial insects like earthworms which help improve the quality of the soil as well.

5. Keeps Plants Moist

I know, this has not been a big problem for the Virginia area throughout the last year. But in typical weather conditions, plants can quickly dry out, especially during our long, humid summer months. A fresh three-inch layer of mulch applied in the spring will help prevent water supplied by your watering efforts and from Mother Nature from rapidly evaporating, keeping moisture on the plant longer. This extra moisture will allow for less intensive watering demands each day.

When to Start Your Seeds in the Mid-Atlantic

Here in the Mid-Atlantic, including Virginia, West Virginia, Maryland, and DC, seeding should start 6-8 weeks before our last frost date—usually late February through mid-March for most of our region.

Materials You Need

To start seeds, there is a vast array of seed-starting supplies from which to choose. Peat pellets, compressed peat that expands when soaked in water, make excellent little ‘pots’ just right for planting two or three seeds. The mesh covering on the outside of the pellet allows new roots to show, alerting you when it’s time to move the seedling to a larger container. There are also plastic trays that come with removable cells in which to start seeds. Some even come with greenhouse lids available. If you use trays, be sure to use a sterile seed starting soil to start. Seed starting soil mixes are finely textured and moisture retentive, ideal for tiny fragile seed roots.

Peat pots, made of pressed peat fibers, are great to have on hand when it’s time to transplant seedlings. Most pots range in size from two and a half inches to around four, allowing you the flexibility to move seedlings up as needed. And because the pressed peat in bio-degradable, you don’t have to remove the seedlings from the pot when it’s time to move outside. Just plant pot and all.

Seed Starting Process: Step-by-Step

This section outlines the basics of seed starting and may not include all necessary information needed for specific seeds. We recommend that you check your seed packets for more information.

1. Wet your soil and spoon it into your seed-starting containers.
2. Read the seed pack instructions and determine the plant depth.
3. Insert seeds gently into the soil. Add a layer of potting soil to cover the seeds.
4. Use a mister to water in the new seeds. Be sure the soil always stays moist.
5. Place the container on a layer of newspaper in a very sunny window.*
6. Cover the pot with a clear plastic top or plastic wrap until the seeds sprout.
7. Check the seedlings daily and mist as needed.
8. After about eight weeks, harden them off by putting them outside for a few hours each day on a sunny porch and increasing their exposure time a bit every day.
9. After about two weeks of hardening, transplant your “babies” outside.

Please note: Some plants germinate in the dark. Check your seed packet for detailed instructions.

Light Levels

Most seedlings need ample sunlight or grow lights positioned 4-18 inches above them for 16-18 hours daily. Check your seed packets for specific light needs.

Direct-Sow Options

Some vegetables like beans, peas, cucumbers, and root crops are best sown directly into your garden after the last frost. Always refer to the seed packet for proper planting instructions.

How To Water Plants Properly

For most plants, a hose with a nozzle is the best option. Set it to a moderate flow of approximately four gallons per minute—a good test is filling a one-gallon container in 13-17 seconds. Place the hose directly at the base of each plant, allowing water to penetrate about two feet into the soil where roots need it most.

For ground covers, a sprinkler or spray nozzle works well, but these are not recommended for larger plants and trees.

How Much Water Do Your Plants Need?

Using a hose without a nozzle, follow these general guidelines:

If your soil has poor drainage, water in 2-3 minute intervals, allowing time for absorption. A time-saving trick is to start watering large plants first, then move to smaller ones before returning for a second round.

When To Water Your Plants

The more porous the soil, the more frequently you’ll need to water. In late spring and summer, plants require more water due to rising temperatures and drier conditions.

• Shaded plants need less water than those in full sun.
• Foundation plants on the south and west sides of your home dry out faster due to prolonged sun exposure.
• Newly planted trees, shrubs, and flowers should be watered heavily when first planted and every other day for the first three weeks. Afterward, water when the soil feels dry.

Additional Watering Tips for Lawns, Trees, and Containers

Water, water everywhere, but not always where you want it when you want it there. The legendary kingdom of Camelot had a great rule: “The rain may never fall till after sundown. By eight, the morning fog must disappear.” Unfortunately in our parts, we have to deal with what we get. In most cases, established plantings do just fine with what nature furnishes, but it’s a different story when it comes to lawns and newly planted trees and shrubs. Summer often brings hot, dry spells when supplemental watering is a must. Here are a few things to keep in mind.

For Your Lawn

• If you’ve just seeded your lawn, keep the soil consistently moist—drying out at this stage can kill new grass.
• Water deeply and thoroughly rather than in short, frequent bursts. This encourages deep root growth, making the grass more drought-resistant.
• Aim for at least one inch of water per week.
• Water early in the morning to minimize evaporation and give your lawn moisture for the day.

For Trees, Shrubs, and Flowers

• Mulching helps retain moisture, reduces evaporation, and prevents weeds from competing for water.
• Trees and shrubs need slow, deep watering. Set your hose to a low trickle and water at the base of the plant.
• Automatic irrigation systems don’t always provide enough water for deep-rooted plants—be sure to supplement as needed.
• A soaker hose is ideal for flower beds, as it delivers water directly to the roots with minimal waste.

For Containers and Hanging Baskets

• Container plants dry out faster since their roots can’t spread out in search of water. Check them daily, especially in hot weather.
• Ensure pots have drainage holes to prevent root rot.
• Use water-retaining products like Soil Moist, which absorbs and slowly releases water into the soil.

Love your garden but tired of fleeting blooms? Deadheading is a simple yet powerful technique that can extend the flowering season of your favorite plants. This idea is a simple one and fairly familiar: by trimming off the faded flowers, many perennials and annuals can be coaxed into producing more buds and flowers, rather than wasting their energy forming seeds.

Why Deadhead Flowers?

Plants will go to seed once their blooms are finished. That’s nature. If left alone a flowering plant would bloom, that bloom would then be fertilized and set seed. In this reproductive cycle, the plant expends all its energy and nutrients to set seed instead of producing more flowers. By deadheading you will not only encourage many more flowers but you will also create a longer blooming period for your plants.

How To Deadhead Flowers

Remove the faded flowers from the plant by pinching off the flower head. Now the plant will spend its energy producing more flowers instead of seed!

You can also pinch the central growing tip of the plant. This will produce side shoots further down the stem, creating a bushier plant that will produce more flowers throughout the season.

You may notice your plants look so much better after deadheading that it becomes part of your regular list of summer chores!

Cutting Back Perennials Hard

With just a few exceptions, the vast majority of late spring and early summer-blooming perennials will deteriorate in appearance after flowering and can look hideous later in the summer. With these types of perennials, a hard shearing back will encourage a new round of fresh, healthy, compact foliage to be produced, causing the plants to actually be an attractive addition to the landscape during the heat of summer and not the tired-looking perennial with a large dead hole in the center of the plant.

This hard pruning technique is recommended for most mounding perennials including Ladys Mantle, Tickseed, Bleeding Heart, Catmint, Sage, and Spiderwort, just to name a few.

When to Deadhead Annuals and Perennials

The best time to deadhead depends on the specific plant and its blooming cycle. Here are some general guidelines:

• Annuals: Deadhead annuals regularly throughout the growing season to encourage continuous blooming.
• Perennials: For most perennials, deadhead after the first flush of blooms to promote a second flowering. However, some perennials, like peonies, only bloom once per season.

The post Deadheading Your Virginia Flowers for Prolonged Blooms appeared first on Meadows Farms Nurseries and Landscaping.

Watering Your Plants

Watering is crucial for the first 6-8 weeks after installation, as plants adjust to their new environment. Regular watering is needed to prevent stress and encourage healthy growth.

• Water plants 2-3 times a week, except during cool weather or rainy periods.
• After 6-8 weeks, water every 3-4 days or as needed, especially in dry conditions.
• Plants require 1 inch of water per week, or more if thunderstorms don’t soak the soil.

Note: Be cautious with plants like Schip and Otto Luyken laurels and flowering cherries, as they’re sensitive to overwatering.

Using Irrigation Systems Effectively

A well-designed irrigation system ensures your plants get the right amount of moisture.

• Use moisture meters to check soil moisture levels.
• A hose placed near the trunk provides slow water delivery to trees.
• Soaker hoses work well for planting beds, as they apply water directly where it’s needed.

Watering Sod

Newly installed sod needs special care to establish roots.

• Water every other day for the first few weeks until sod roots are established.
• Use a sprinkler for even coverage, ensuring the roots go deep into the soil.
• During hot summer months, check sod regularly to keep it moist.

Fertilizing Your Plants

New plants don’t need fertilizer in the first year, as soil amendments typically provide enough nutrients.

• Use products like HollyTone for acid-loving plants.
• Apply in the first spring after installation for a healthy start.
• Avoid fertilizing in late August through November to prevent frost-sensitive growth.

Mulching to Conserve Moisture

Mulch helps retain moisture, prevents weeds, and improves soil health.

• Use a 2-3 inch layer of shredded hardwood mulch.
• Replenish mulch yearly to maintain coverage.
• Avoid mounding mulch around the base of tree trunks.

Staking Trees for Stability

Ensure trees stay secure as they establish themselves.

• Keep stakes in place for up to one year, especially for larger trees or evergreens.
• Remove wires to prevent girdling.

Pruning for Healthy Growth

Pruning ensures plants maintain their shape and size.

• Prune trees after leaves drop in the fall.
• Shrubs can be pruned year-round.
• Avoid pruning flowering plants after they’ve developed flower buds.

Managing Insects

Insect issues are common with new plants but often don’t pose a serious threat.

• Monitor for pests like Japanese beetles, caterpillars, and spider mites.
• Use organic or chemical treatments as needed.

Handling Dead Plants

Plants can fail for various reasons, including poor water management and extreme weather.

What to Do When Plants Die:

• Contact our customer service for guidance and potential plant replacement.
• We’ll assess the cause and suggest remedies like changing the location or variety of the plant.

Flower & Perennial Care

• Tend to Spring Bulbs: Cut back spent tulip and daffodil blooms, but leave the foliage to allow energy to return to the bulbs. Divide and replant overcrowded daffodils.
• Support Growing Plants: Provide stakes or cages for fast-growing perennials like delphiniums, peonies, and lilies. Tie up clematis and other climbing vines.
• Deadhead Spent Blooms: Remove faded flowers from annuals and perennials to encourage continued blooming.
• Divide & Share Perennials: If plants are overcrowded, divide and replant them, or share with fellow gardeners.
• Fertilize When Needed: Apply a slow-release fertilizer to roses, azaleas, rhododendrons, and new plantings—but do so sparingly to avoid overfeeding.

Vegetable Garden Tasks

• Start Planting Warm-Season Crops: Direct sow squash, melon seeds, and annual flowers. Plant seedlings or direct-sow tomatoes, peppers, eggplants, and sweet potatoes.
• Protect Young Plants: Use cages or stakes for tomatoes and peppers at planting time to avoid root disturbance later. Prevent cutworms by placing a collar (like a cardboard tube or cat food can) around tender seedlings.
• Boost Soil Health: Add crushed eggshells to tomato planting holes for extra calcium and mix lime into the surrounding soil to prevent blossom-end rot. Fertilize with kelp extract or fish emulsion.
• Thin Seedlings: If you started seeds last month, thin them out and begin the hardening-off process before transplanting.
• Hand-Pick Pests: Remove cabbage worms from cabbage and broccoli before they cause serious damage.

General Garden Maintenance

• Water Wisely: Check newly planted trees, shrubs, and perennials regularly and water as needed. Monitor pots and containers daily for moisture.
• Control Pests & Diseases: Hose off aphids, whiteflies, or spider mites on roses and perennials. Look for signs of black spot on roses and remove affected leaves—never compost them. Apply neem oil fungicide every two weeks as a preventative.
• Weed Regularly: Stay ahead of weeds before they take over.
• Turn Your Compost: Keep your compost pile active by turning it regularly.

Landscape & Outdoor Projects

• Prune Early-Spring Bloomers: Trim forsythia, spirea, and other shrubs that have finished blooming.
• Start or Refresh a Water Garden: Spring is the perfect time to set up a new water garden or clean and refresh an existing one.
• Monitor for Mosquito Breeding Areas: Eliminate standing water in pots, gutters, or any outdoor items. Use mosquito dunks in water-collecting areas.

Enjoy Your Garden!

• Take a Local Garden Tour: See what’s thriving in nearby home gardens and get inspired.
• Bring the Outdoors In: Cut fresh flowers for small arrangements throughout your home.
• Document Your Garden: Mark and photograph your bulb plantings while they are still visible to plan for next season.

Gardening for your health and well-being

There are plenty of studies out there that are beginning to show that activities such as gardening can help improve your overall physical and mental well-being.

Gardening is a great form of exercise and physical health

General gardening is a repetitive low to medium-impact form of exercise that requires a certain amount of strength and stretching to perform. This strength and stretching work all of the major muscle groups (as our sore muscles will remind us after a long break from being out in the garden). One benefit of this workout is that it may decrease the likelihood of osteoporosis later in life. Because of its low-impact nature, gardening makes for an excellent activity for those who are older, have disabilities or suffer from chronic pain.

If that wasn’t good enough, studies by the National Heart, Lung, and Blood Institute score thirty minutes of gardening (and other comparable activities) several times a week second in recommended ways to battle high blood pressure. Even studies from the British Journal of Sports Medicine say that activities such as gardening can cut the risk of heart attack and stroke and prolong life by as much as 30% among people aged 60 or older.

Gardening is a great form of exercise and physical health

Another perk of gardening is the fact that we get to play in the dirt all of the time. That fascination we had as kids of jumping into every mud puddle we saw translated quite well into our lives in the garden. Lucky for us, because it turns out that love of dirt is beneficial for our overall health. Research suggests that children who are exposed to dirt (or its more politically correct term, soil) in their formative years develop stronger immune systems and lower incidences of conditions such as asthma, eczema, and other allergies.

Gardening just might improve our mental health

We’re addicted to technology. It’s an unfortunate side effect of this connected world that we live in. This attention we devote to our emails and our smartphones is considered a form of “directed attention” that our brains have only a finite amount of capacity. When we overload we become irritable, error-prone, and stressed out. Gardening is your cure! The routine of gardening is a form of “effortless attention” that can be accomplished almost by instinct, allowing your brain to relax and release its backlog of tension.

It sounds like it’s too good to be true, but studies in the Netherlands are showing there is some validity to this claim. The study divided two groups between gardening for thirty minutes and reading indoors after performing a stressful task. Those that gardened reported to be in a much better mood than the group that read. One wonders if the readers would have felt better reading outside.

The reason for the improved moods of gardeners might be found in the soil itself. Within the soil is a naturally forming and harmless bacteria Mycobacterium vaccae. When used in studies, this bacteria raises serotonin levels in the brain, a neurotransmitter that controls cognitive functions and mood. In fact, gardening has been used by researchers in Norway to help patients with severe depression. In all cases the patients experienced improved moods; even several months after the studies took place.

Gardeners eat better…usually

There is nothing more rewarding than planting and maintaining a vibrant vegetable garden and basking in the abundance of a fresh harvest. As most who garden can attest, the taste of fresh vegetables is far superior to anything you can purchase at the supermarket. There really is no comparison. It’s also much cheaper, too. A well-planted and well-maintained tomato plant can provide months of fresh tomatoes for your kitchen.

Beyond their uses on your kitchen table, gardeners can use their skills in the garden for their medicine cabinets as well. Many natural herbal remedies can be made at home and offer simple methods for treating minor complaints. Anyone who has suffered from sunburn can attest to how soothing a small amount of sap from an aloe plant can be.

Gardening for an improved life and community

I can hear you thinking about it now. “I’m already a healthy person. I exercise regularly, eat great, and am generally happy in life without gardening. I wouldn’t even know the difference between a shovel and a trowel.” Even so, getting into gardening has so many beneficial effects that can improve your personal life and the life of your community.

Gardening can make you a better person

Gardening is a hobby that provides a feeling of accomplishment and reward for those who do it. The sense of accomplishment that comes with a successful garden allows us to focus on the beautiful things in life. The feelings of abundance when we harvest armfuls of tomatoes and cucumbers; the feelings of awe we have when a seedling we planted at a young age grows with us into adulthood to the massive shade tree that it is now. We become grateful for all of the things we can accomplish.

Gardens also can instill in us compassion for others. It takes a lot of patience and hard work to keep a garden going. We need to account for the needs of the various plants in our care, including watering, fertilization, and pruning. This focus on needs beyond our own can translate to our personal relationships as well.

Gardening can bring people and families together

According to Amy Gifford of the National Gardening Association, gardening is a great way to teach kids valuable life lessons. Gardening teaches “about patience as they wait for vegetables to grow, responsibility as they see how necessary their care is to the garden, and even loss when flowers die at the end of a season.” Even if you don’t have room for a large garden, maintaining several potted vegetables or flowers on a balcony or front stoop can provide the same effect. Plus it gets us outside, and that’s a wonderful thing.

Gardening is a boon for the community

The love of gardening and beautification can be a real boon for local communities. According to the Chicago Public Housing Development, residents who live in areas with natural landscapes know their neighbors better, spend more time outdoors, and generally live in a safer environment. Beautifying roadways can have the dual effect of providing pleasing roadside landscapes while at the same time providing a natural median to make the roadway somewhat safer for surrounding communities.

A growing phenomenon across the country that backs up this sense of community and gardening is the rising popularity of community gardens. Whether it’s a neighbor with an extra plot of land to share with his neighbors or a group of row houses getting together on a vacant lot to share in the spoils of happy gardening, community gardens bring neighbors and families together through hard work and a shared bounty.

Gardening for a better world

Despite all of the benefits that gardening provides to ourselves and our local communities, gardening provides an even greater benefit to the world around us. We live in a symbiotic relationship with our plants. Through photosynthesis, plants use sunshine to synthesize food from the carbon dioxide they breathe out and the water they take in through their roots. As a waste product, these plants send out oxygen which allows us to breathe.

Plants can also contribute to removing pollutants in our waterways. Many eco-friendly gardeners are now creating rain gardens that use native plants and unique reservoirs to capture and use runoff from rain, thus preventing pollutants from reaching streams and lakes and getting into our waterways.

And finally, the plants we plant help to provide both food and shelter to wildlife, allowing for a diverse natural habitat. Now if we could only get the deer to eat the neighbor’s hostas.

So get out and garden!

Even if you don’t have a lot of yard space to get a small garden together, you can still benefit from the benefits of becoming a gardener. Even a few houseplants in your living spaces or some containers of flowers or vegetables on a balcony or front stoop can help you gain the benefits of this tremendous way of life. And remember, we here at Meadows Farms are always available with advice and answers to all of your questions. Through gardening, we’ll strive for improved health, a better life, and a great world through gardening.
