August Gardening Tips:
*Fertilize warm- and cool-season lawns around Labor Day.
*If Bermudagrass and other perennials have been major problems, treat them with a nonselective herbicide while they are actively growing.
*Remove bagworms from cedars and wax myrtles.
*Divide and replant daylilies, irises and peonies as foliage loses its green color.
Check for scale on evergreens and lace bugs on azaleas, rhododendrons and pyracantha.
*Fertilize strawberries to replenish and help to store food reserves for next year's crop.
*Remove diseased branches and fruit in the orchard.
*Begin planting fall vegetables.
*Remove excess basal sprouts from fruit trees.
