Even though the temps are heating up, there is still plenty to do in the garden.  Add color by acquiring perennials such as pentas or salvia.  Sow seeds of Arizona poppy, sunflowers, Mexican sunflowers and zinnia’s.  Transplants of heat-tolerant annuals such as portulaca and lisianthus can be planted with some afternoon shade.  Check container plants as they will need increase watering as the temps continue to climb.  Stay connected with the garden guru for further posts.
