Gardening often involves a lot of maintenance, from weeding to pruning to deadheading. However, some flowers are self-sufficient and will happily self-seed, coming back year after year without the need for deadheading. This not only saves you time and effort but also ensures a vibrant and dynamic garden as these flowers naturally spread and fill in empty spaces.

Don’t Deadhead! These Flowers Will Self-Seed And Come Back Next Year

Give your grass the care it needs and it will bounce back after a hot summer of activities

7 Things You Should Do for Your Lawn in August — Good Habits That Will Result in Resilient Turf

Lawn looking crispy and dead in hot, dry summer weather? Don’t worry, it’s supposed to. Lush, green lawns are such inviting places to play and relax. Come outside, they seem to say. Bring a cold drink and kick back in the hammock. But keeping grass so lush and green often requires fertilizers, pesticides, and water—lots and lots of water. Ready for a shock? A 2005 NASA-led study found that in most U.S. regions, 50 to 75% of a home’s total water usage is for lawn irrigation.1 This also may surprise you: You probably don’t actually need to water your grass much at all, and you definitely don’t need to triple (or more!) how much you water in summer. Besides helping to conserve water, you can save quite a bit of money and time by avoiding unnecessary lawn irrigation.
