June
- Always let the foliage on spring bulbs wither naturally. This is vital for next year's display.
- Save yourself hours of future weeding by pulling the abundant weeds now before they go to seed.
- Prune evergreens such as Boxwoods, Camellia, Leucothe and Junipers.
- Deadhead all blooming plants to encourage new blooms.
- Japanese beetles will begin to emerge this month. Traps, repellent and Sevin dust should be close at hand.
- Make sure you keep fertiliser on all flowers in order to keep them healthy and looking their best throughout the summer months. If you chose to use a granular feed you may need to supplement with a liquid fertiliser on occasion.
- After the climbing roses bloom, be sure to prune them. Next year's blooms will be produced on this summer's new growth.
- If insects, such as ants, ticks, fleas, etc., are a problem in your lawn, use Diazinon or Dursban.
- Watch your watering in confined areas such as hanging baskets and container gardens. They tend to dry out fast on hot days.
