It is now time to make your second application of turf fertilizer. Broadleaf weeds will likely be popping up, so again, you may find fertilizer and weed control products in the home stores. Snails might also start to become an issue. They love the damp weather and tender spring shoots. Use pet safe snail bait as needed. Now that the weather will be heating up, and the days have grown longer, we need to start mowing our lawn every week again. Take advantage of the pleasant weather and rain, and plant to your hearts content. Almost any shrubs will do well if planted now. Bonus tip: To keep your blue-flowered hydrangea blue, acidify the soil now. Apply aluminum sulfate, which is often packaged expressly for hydrangeas, following label directions. You can also use cottonseed meal, but I do not find it as effective.
