Maintenance Lawn Care
Summer lawn care is mostly maintenance, mowing, watering, and what I think is tremendously important--treating you lawn to a regular light shampoo.
The use of soapy tonics on a regular basis will reduce the lawn's need for water, and help fertilizers and other controls work better.
================================================
There are two types of fertilizers. One is made of chemicals or inorganic materials. The second type of fertilizer is know as organic or natural fertilizers. You will need to decide with one is right for you and your soil.
Chemical or inorganic fertilizers
Chemical fertilizers can burn your roots, if applied in the wrong manner. Chemical fertilizers are really not good for your soil. Because they will kill the microorganisms in the soil. Besides the root system of the plants will absorb these chemicals and what goes into the plants will go into the fruits and vegetables Then when you eat these fruits and vegetables then the chemicals will be in you. If you use these fertilizers then they should be used on plants that are not eaten. Like flowers, ground covers, and such. You shouldn't use these fertilizers on your yard either. because they can be absorbed through the skin if you like to walk barefoot in the yard. Or lay down in the grass. Especially when children are present. I don't know of a kid yet that doesn't come in from playing in the yard that's not scratching because of playing in the grass.
While chemical fertilizers promote quick growth for you plants. It will also produce weak plants, because they do not have time to mature good root system. without a good root system it will cause under development of the plant itself. when plants are weak this will cause them to be susceptible to diseases.

Planting table onions (known as scallions, green onions) will grow well from sets in many climates. The small onion bulbs are known as sets. These onions will tolerate light frost so you can plant them fairly early in the year.
You don't really have to plant them in a certain manner. Because you will be harvesting them before they become to crowded.
