Add peat moss to the tops of your container plants or work it into the soil. The peat looks great and works to conserve moisture. It's great for flowers or fruit vines that need acidic soil.

Schedule several days a week for your teen's summer activities. Maybe it's just a trip to get ice cream or a bike ride in the park, but put it on the family calendar, and you'll keep your kiddos on track all summer long.
The first warm day of summer is a great time to take stock of your wardrobe. What will you really wear? Donate the rest to a charity so someone else can use what you can't while the season is right.
After you mow, stand a ruler in the grass. Is it less than two inches? You may need to adjust the settings on your mower. Less than two inches causes the grass to need more water and doesn't give it enough "leaf" exposure to manufacture adequate chlorophyll.
With a little fertilizer, your grass is ready to take on your summer activities. A good way to know if you've watered it in enough is to look for visible remaining granules. If you can still see them, they can "burn" your grass by drawing water out of the grass blades.
