Plants and Curb Appeal - Keeping Them Healthy

Pat

Dead or wilted flowers are pretty depressing. Probably worse than no flowers at all. These are wonderful. With the heat DC gardeners must be particularly challenged right now.

The flowers are looking good, they look like someone has been taking care of them.

Good luck and success.

Are biggest challenge here is the watering, it's seems we go from a surplus to a deficit in no time.

Those blooms are beautiful!  What a welcome entrance to any home.

Someone cares about their beautiful flowers.  Nice to see beautiful colors as the yards go brown.

Hi Pat -- first impressions count and seeing dead flowers as a potential buyer approaches your home definitely sets the wrong tone.   

Good Morning Pat

Thanks for the post and beautiful flowers. Have a great day

Dead, wilted flowers are worse than if the property owner, landlord, whoever did not bother to plant anything at all. Pride, respect, water to make the eyecandy rich colored, healthy and in bloom adds to the curb appeal for sure Pat!

Patricia - Frazzled flowers are an eyesore for sure--reminds me I need to stop by a listing and water the potted plants by the entrance.  Even though we're coastal we enjoyed some very warm days this week.

Patricia it's been a tough summer for plants here on the east coast...and it is so pleasant to see well cared for gardens.  It makes me feel cooler just looking!

Good morning Pat,

Lovely flowers, so vibrant...a "must" for curb appeal!

Hi Pat.  It sure kills the curb appeal by not tending to your landscaping.  It really makes the neighborhood shine when flowers and grass is maintained.

It's tough with all the drought right now, but so important to keep those plants watered.  Great advice for sellers!

I just pulled up my wilted burned flowers out of my flower beds tonight and trimmed the dead stuff off-- but I don't think my neighbors have been focused on that, instead they are glad the roll off dumpster is gone from my driveway.  When you put a pool in its MAJOR construction and not pretty!

Great picture of the annuals.  Kind of makes us sad that it is already august and the flowers are soon going to fade to AR posts... :)

It's tough to keep the flowers looking vibrant in this heat and drought, which is why I recommend that sellers take pictures of their yards when they are looking their best!
