Always follow label directions exactly. All annuals and many perennials will continue to flower after dead blossoms are removed. Keep faded flower blossoms pinched off. Pull out and destroy tomato and potato plants that are infected with bacterial or fungal leaf spots before the problem spreads. Start cutting and drying herbs for kitchen use.
Frequent cuttings help encourage new growth.
Harvest onions and garlic. When their stalks begin to yellow, bend them down flat on the ground and wait for them to yellow completely. Then carefully dig the bulbs and allow them to dry for a day or two in a shaded spot. Brush dirt from the skins and bring indoors to store in a cool, ventilated, dry place. Pick beans and summer squash before they get oversized and tough.
