[quote=Anonymous]Get in touch with the old owners and ask what everything is so you can find out how to take care of it. They will probably appreciate knowing that you want to take care of the garden they planted. Water deeply (set out a tin can where you're using a sprinkler until there's an inch of water in it) once a week when you haven't gotten much rain from now until the end of September. Pull weeds by hand often. Don't plant anything else until you've lived there through the spring so you can see where bulbs come up. Keep 2-3 inches of mulch in the garden beds. It really doesn't matter when you mulch. Roses and a few other bushes need to be cut back once a year (roses in February or early March) to keep them flowering--when and how you prune depends on the plant.[/quote]
