Essential June Gardening Tips

Gardening Tips for June

June is a vibrant month for gardening, as the warmer weather promotes growth and blooming. Here are some essential tips to help you make the most of your garden this month:

• Cut down flowering stalks that appear on rhubarb plants.

• Lavender prefers relatively infertile, well-drained soil.

• Container plants placed outdoors dry out much faster. Check for water more often.

• Withhold lawn irrigation until the first signs of stress to save water and toughen the grass.

• Roses do not release fragrance on windy or rainy days.

• Use salt marsh hay or processed straw/hay to suppress weeds in the vegetable garden
