Your Perennials Will Die If You Don't Do These 5 Things Before September

🔗 Get a beautiful perennial garden with less watering, fewer costly mistake from Henry’s Garden Blueprint: https://henrysgardensecrets.com/ August has about a week left in it. When it goes, one thing changes out there: it stops being about this year. Whatever you do in the next few days, the plant does not spend on flowers. It spends it underground, on roots - and you do not get the bill either way until March. That is why nobody makes this video. Nothing you do this week looks like anything this week. Five jobs. Two of them are ten minutes. One of them is an envelope and a stamp and it is the only clock here measured in months rather than days. And number one is a job you have to NOT do. There is a plant in your yard looking terrible right now, and cutting it down this week costs you flowers in June. Iowa State puts that in one sentence. Also in here: why a dry bed does not just starve a plant but freezes deeper than a watered one. The twelve perennials that get pushed out of the ground over winter, from Iowa State's own list. Why cleaning your iris bed this week is worse than not cleaning it at all. And four jobs off every other list this month that turned out, when I went and read them, to be advice about roses. HOW LONG HAS YOUR IRIS BEEN IN THAT SPOT? Tell me below - just the number of years, and whether you have ever had it out of the ground. I am asking for a reason. I want to know how common the thing at number five actually is, and the only way I find that out is from you. SUBSCRIBE I have kept a notebook for thirty-five years. This channel is mostly what is in it - and a lot of it is the jobs nobody films, because nothing happens when you do them.
