Turning over the soil is a simple way to keep weeds from overtaking your planting beds. You'll disrupt the seedlings' growth cycle, and you'll have fewer weeds to pull.

The interior of your car on summer days can exceed 120 degrees. Before your children buckle up, touch each of their seat belt fasteners to ensure they won't be burned.
Campfires are a big draw on campouts. Assign one child a water bucket and the other a shovel. They are responsible (under adult supervision) to douse the coals when the night is through.
Once your spring bloomers switch to summer mode, your garden can take on a monochromatic green palette. Set out a few containers in prime viewing locations. A bright planting in each one will liven your landscape with easy-care color.
Your garden flowers and shrubs like an occasional soaking during summer's heat. Leave a hose trickling at the plant's base. When the ground around the plant is soft, it's time to move the hose. In dry weather, you may need to leave the hose for an hour or more, but your plants will thank you.
