June Gardening Tips

It is summer time! Your garden is in full bloom and you’re enjoying the fruits of your spring labor. Here are some tips to keep your gardening looking its best this month. 

Proper Watering is Key

When temperatures are consistently warm and the rain is slowing down, remember to keep your lawn and garden hydrated. Underwatering is the number one reason your plants fail to thrive.

  • Set-up a watering schedule. Temperatures will increase, and your plants will start feeling the heat. Now is the time to get your watering plan started. Whether it’s sprinklers, a hose, or drip irrigation, help your plants prepare for summer’s heat with the proper amount of water.
  • Water anything newly planted often. Check them frequently to address any issues that may arise.

Garden Bed Care

Garden beds need maintenance throughout the summer. Doing a few things each week is easier and will keep everything looking great.

Trees and Shrub Care

Spend a few minutes tending to trees and shrubs this month to keep them looking great year after year.

  • Deadhead rhododendrons, azaleas and lilacs, once they’ve finished flowering.
  • Deadhead roses, as they finish blooming.
  • Fertilize roses after full bloom.
  • Prune any plants with dead, diseased, crossing or weak branches.
  • Prune hydrangea bushes, particularly macrophyllus, which may have winter die-back. Watch our video on Pruning Hydrangeas. 
  • Prune any dead branches protruding from new growth.
  • Prune your early spring-flowering shrubs to control their size.
  • Prune evergreens and evergreen hedges to control their size.

Lawn Care

A green, lush lawn is a great way to improve your curb appeal. Keep it looking great with these tips: .

  • Mow the lawn regularly, and keep blades at a height of 2 ½” to 3 inches.
  • Use a rain gauge to accurately measure the amount of water a lawn gets.  Aim for about an inch of water a week when it’s actively growing.

Control Pests & Diseases 

Pests and diseases can take a toll on your plants. Be proactive and catch problems when they arise to save you time and money in the long run.

  • Check for pests and problems often. To help reduce pests in your garden, release beneficial insects such as ladybugs. Learn more about Beneficial Insects.
  • Continue to apply deer and rabbit repellents or plant one of our recommended deer-resistant plants,
  • Watch for any signs of plant stress or disease, particularly leaf fungus, black spot, powdery mildew, or rust. Treat any issues immediately before they become big problems. Learn more about our Garden Pharmacy
