PINCH THAT MUM
If your chrysanthemums
were long and spindly last fall,
you probably didn’t pinch the
plants last spring and summer,
Lynn Smith, extension flower
specialist at The Pennsylvania
State University, recommends
pinching mums to remove the
young growing tips, this makes
the plant branch out. It doesn’t
get so long and leggy and pro
duces more flowers. The job
isn’t difficult, just remove the
top half inch of each shoot
until about July 15 when flow
erbuds start to form.
Don’t bother to rake leaves
out of your shrub bed They
