Failed Corn and Bean Plantings - The Garden Mix
Early planting and unseasonably cool wet springs can cause bean and corn seeds to fail to sprout or fully develop. These seeds either rotted or were damaged by corn seed maggot.
This maggot feeds on germinating seeds, preventing the seed from sprouting or causing deformed seedlings that never fully develop. Avoid this problem by waiting until the soil warms before planting these crops. Quick germinating seeds are less susceptible to this damage.
Speed up germination by covering new plantings with row cover fabrics such as ReeMay, Grass-Fast and Harvest Guard. These products help trap heat around your new plantings, keeping them warmer while allowing air, light and water through.
You can replant failed plantings or make your first planting when the soil dries and both the air and soil are warm. Your patience will be rewarded with faster seed germination and faster growing plants.
A bit more information: Make late and second plantings of these and other short season crops to increase your garden’s productivity. Check the packet for the number of days from planting to harvest. Then make sure there are enough days left in your season by counting the number of days to the average first fall frost.

New Ways to Include Herbs in your Landscape - The Garden Mix
Add a little zip to your garden and meals by planting herbs.
Annuals like parsley and basil can be used as yearly additions and accents in the vegetable and flower garden. I like to use parsley and alyssum as an edge around my own garden. The alyssum provides a wonderful fragrance and the parsley is a nice flavorful contrast.
Consider using sage, chives, oregano, and other perennials as permanent members of your edible and ornamental gardens. Tuck perennial herbs and vegetables in the corner or end of your annual gardens safe from the tiller or spade when mixing them with annual plantings. Or better yet mix them with perennial flowers. Their texture and color make an attractive and edible addition to any flower garden.
Most herbs prefer full sun and well-drained soils. Harvest them as needed throughout the growing season. This will keep the plants looking good and provide you a steady supply of flavor.
A bit more information: Be careful when adding mint and other aggressive plants to any garden. I like to plant these hard-to-handle plants in a container on my patio or balcony. You can sink the container into the ground to reduce the need for watering. The container slows down the vigorous mint and makes it easier to keep under control in the landscape.

Perennial Garden Renovations - The Garden Mix
Give your tired perennial garden a boost without a total renovation. Topdressing your garden with compost every year or two provides most if not all the nutrients your perennials need.
Pull back the mulch if needed. Then spread an inch of compost over the soil surface. You can buy a quality compost or make your own.
Leave the compost on the surface or lightly mix it into the soil. The earthworms, ground beetles, and other organisms will take it from there – moving the compost into the soil and around the plant roots where it is needed.
Or, do a bit of vertical mulching. Use an auger bit on your cordless drill. Simply drill holes into the soil between plants. Then fill the holes with compost. This gets the compost closer to the plant roots and soil organisms that will help mix it into and improve the soil.
Soil preparation and repair will help transform your garden.
A bit more information: Apply a plant strengthener such as JAZ spray to increase plant vigor and their natural ability to tolerate environmental stresses, insect attacks, and disease problems. These natural products aren’t fertilizers or pesticides. They can be applied to established plants at the beginning of the season to boost their ability to deal with stress or as soon as problems arise.
