Summer is upon us!
June is the perfect time to plant anything and everything! Mild temperatures make transplanting less stressful on all plants including trees and shrubs. Use a root simulator to jump start growth and development and begin to establish a watering schedule!
It is also time to get hanging baskets outside and fill pottery and plant
ers with blooming annuals. Utilize fertilizer high in phosphorus weekly to continue lush blooms and color! And don’t forget your veggies & herbs.

General Landscaping
  • Check your sprinklers to make sure all you landscaping plants are receiving the correct amount of water
  • Weed, Weed, Weed! Not just unsightly, weeds rob your plants of precious nutrients and moisture
Shrubs, Perennials, Bulbs
  • Prune spring flowering shrubs after the flowers are spent
  • Cut back spring-blooming bulbs after the leaves have completely died back
  • Continue to fertilize your roses once a month
Veggies, Fruits & Herbs
  • Continue to plant warm season veggies (tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, corn)
  • Protect your strawberries & cherries from birds and other wildlife with mesh netting
  • Plant your herb seeds like dill, basil, cilantro
Annuals
  • Move your annual baskets & patio pots outdoors
  • Water daily especially if your baskets are in full day sun or wind. It’s best to water in early morning
  • For fantastic color feed your flowering annuals once a week with a water soluble fertilizer high in phosphorous (the middle number on a fertilizer label)
  • Continue to dead head the spent blooms
Insect Watch  
  • Be on the lookout for aphids! A tell-tale sign is honeydew on the leaves
  • Spruce Spider mites are usually at their peak populations this month
  • Peach tree borer. Adult flights begin. Protective sprays are timely now
