Darin Engh, from Engh Gardens, highlights the June Gardening “To-Do” List.
• Fertilize vegetable every four weeks.
• Watch for slug and snail damage on plants, apply bait to control.
• Cut back foliage on bulbs. Move or replant bulbs if needed.
• Treat for billibugs, grubs, and other lawn insects.
• Control: tobacco budworm on geraniums and petunias.
• Pollinate tomato plants with a paint brush.
• Continue your regular fruit tree spray schedule.
• Cultivate soil to help kill weeds and aerate.
• Make some time to enjoy the beauty of your garden.
• Plant another row of lettuce, before the intense summer heat arrives.
• Fertilize plants growing in planter and window boxes regularly.
• Why not plant some herbs by the kitchen window.
• Remove any spent flower heads from spring blooming shrubs, like lilacs and rhododendrons.
• June is Perennial Gardening Month and a great time to plant perennials.
• Fertilize landscape beds.
• Apply Natural Guard Lawn, Garden, and Pet Insect Spray to keep mosquitoes and other pests out of your yard for parties or barbecues.
