Palmer’s Garden & Goods
“Thank you for allowing us to be a part of your garden”

• Hand-water all plants everyday for the first 2 weeks (AT LEAST 15 seconds on each plant)
• Refer to the Tree Care Card for all trees 15″ and over
• Calibrate your sprinklers for each area by placing a tuna can on the ground. When it is full (1″) then you have given that area enough water. Please watch and make sure that all plants are being covered!!
• After hand-watering for 2 weeks, please set sprinklers for every other day for 2 weeks, then every three days for 3 weeks, then you can resume your regular irrigation schedule for your new plants (not including trees). If you notice wilt in between watering, check the soil-if it is dry then hand-water!
• All plants have been given a root stimulator and slow-release fertilizer. Please fertilize all shrubs, trees, and greenery 3 x’s per year:  Early Spring, Late Summer, and Mid Fall. Flowering perennials and annuals can be fed a higher phosphorus fertilizer every month, or as needed.
• Prune all plants in early spring (can cut up to 1/3 off). You can selectively prune throughout the year. Warning: Prune lightly in the summer when plants are under stress. Fall Pruning will not produce much new growth until spring!!
• Due to the amended soil, increased watering, and fertilizer.  HAND weeding will be necessary about 1 month after installation.
• If there are any concerns or questions regarding your new plants, please contact us immediately at 407-896-5951 or e-mail pictures to Allison at palmersgarden@aol.com
