There’s nothing quite like a summer squall to remind us that some plants need a little help standing up on their own. Last week’s rains did just that for me. My garden was proud and perky and standing tall before Mother Nature dropped three quarters of an inch of rain on it. The weight of all that water on the foliage caused limbs to bow down, sometimes all the way to the ground, and in some cases even snap off. It wasn’t a pretty sight and yet I could have prevented a lot of it had I just done some preventative staking.
