From the City of Eskridge: Anytime a property is sold and a dock lease needs to be transferred, it must be presented for council approval. In most instances it will be granted. A few exceptions might be if there are more than 2 docks or a dock and no habitable structure.

Deadheading Flowers Some plants will bloom more profusely if the old, spent flowers are removed, a process called deadheading. Annuals especially, focus their energy on seed production to insure the species survives. If you remove old flowers, the energy normally used to produce seed is now available to produce more flowers. Perennials can also benefit by lengthening the blooming season. Not all plants need to be deadheaded, including sedum 'Autumn Joy', impatiens, most flowering vines and periwinkle. Those that do increase bloom in response to deadheading include hardy geraniums, coreopsis, petunias, marigolds, snapdragons, begonias, roses, zinnias, salvia, geraniums and yarrow. Deadheading is easily accomplished by removing spent flowers. With some plants, pinching between a thumb and finger can do this, but tough, wiry stems will require scissors or pruning shears. Flowers When soils are waterlogged, roots are deprived of oxygen. Then, when summer stress (heat/dryness) kick in, those plants will not be able to cope. If you have drainage problems make a long-term strategy to improve it. Sidedressing Annual Flowers Modern annual flowers have been bred to flower early and over a long period of time. Providing nitrogen through the growing season (sidedressing) can help maintain an effective flower display for warm-season flowers. Apply a high nitrogen sidedressing four to six weeks after flowers have been set out. Additional fertilizations every four to six weeks can be helpful during a rainy summer. |
