Garden Tips
JUNE
June is ‘Perennial Gardening’ Month
Enjoy walking your yard & continue regular inspections of lawn & gardens for insect & disease control.
Water lawn & plantings as needed. Better to deep water on a less frequent schedule (every 10-14 days) than constant light waterings…especially where fungus or disease has been a problem.
Remove spent blooms (dead-head) on annuals & perennials regularly to encourage more blooms & improve plant vigor. Fertilize containers weekly.
Prune flowering shrubs after blooms fade to promote new growth.
Treat for Euonymus scale crawlers when Tree Lilacs are in early bloom. Repeat 4 times at 10-12 day intervals.
Remember to pull or spot spray weeds as they first appear in beds & borders…small weeds are easier to control.
