Summer+Courtyard+and+Turtle+Care

Hello Courtyard Enthusiasts,

Thanks for volunteering to help keep our garden space beautiful over the summer.

Here's what needs to be done. The watering and feeding turtles is top priority, any extra is greatly appreciated!

There's veggies, fruit, and flowers that need lots of water. Be sure to give extra water to the base of the clematis vines that grow up the pergola columns. They drink LOTS of water.

Tuck food near the edges of boxwood bushes so they can eat in a shady hidden place. Here's some food ideas - leafy dark greens, carrots, tomatoes, most fruits - (grapes, apples, berries, melons, bananas) peel and all!
 * Feed turtles**

Use the tools tucked under the picnic table to trim bamboo away from the stepping stones around the bushes on the east wall.

Water evaporates quickly in the summer and there are fish living in the pond. At the least add water, but if you have time we'd love for you to aerate! It's simple to do. You basically want to circulate the water around using pressure from the hose. Here's a video! Aerate Pond Video The fish love it and typically come up to play! :)

Pick off dead parts of flowers that have already bloomed. If you're not sure here's a link How To Deadhead Flowers
