Home and garden tips: Veggies and lawns

Garden Tip

• Avoid blossom-end rot on tomatoes, peppers, squash and watermelons by maintaining uniform soil moisture. Plant veggies in well-drained soil and water deeply once or twice a week. Mulch will help the soil retain that moisture. Try not to disturb sensitive roots; avoid cultivating more than 1 inch deep within 1 foot of plants.

Home Tip

• One good thing about hot days: Most lawns stop growing when temperatures top 95 degrees. Keep your mower’s blades set on high.
