June In Your Garden

  1. There’s still time to plant vegetables and herbs

    if you have more space or if you haven’t planted a vegetable and herb garden. Tomatoes, peppers, eggplant, squash, cucumbers, corn, melon, basil, cilantro and more!

    Plant Vegetables & Herbs
  2. Be on the lookout for budworm on your petunias and geraniums.

    Look for holes in the buds and blooms as well as small round dark droppings on the leaves and flowers. Apply Monterey B.t. to control.

  3. Thin fruit from fruit trees

    to promote larger fruit and prevent limbs from breaking.  

  4. Plant summer flowering annuals and perennials

     such as, zinnias, marigolds, lobelia, petunias, salvia, Agastache, impatiens, begonias, and more…

  5. Fertilize pots and color beds every other week

    with Maxsea All Purpose and Bloom fertilizers mixed together for maximum growth and bloom.

  6. Plant a few fruit trees on your property

    for a home grown source of delicious fruit as well as offering up a bit of shade to rest under on those hot summer days.

  7. Mulch with a 2” layer of bark or composted mulch

    to conserve moisture in the warm summer months. Mulching also helps to suppress weeds.

  8. It is time to apply aluminum sulfate (GreenAll True Blue) again to hydrangeas

    to keep them blooming blue.  Apply lime to the soil to keep the flowers pink or red.

  9. Fertilize roses and other flowering shrubs,

    perennials and annuals with EB Stone Organics Rose and Flower Food. Don’t forget to deadhead the spent flowers.

  10. Check that your irrigation system is working properly

     and make adjustments as the warmer days of summer arrive. Deeper watering less often is best for most plants. 

    Check Irrigation
  11. Remember to create a defensible space around your home and structures.

     See http://www.fire.ca.gov/ for details.

  12. Watch out for slug, snail, and earwig damage.

    Apply Sluggo Plus for control.  Spray Take Down on aphids or release ladybugs.

  13. Plant roses and hydrangeas while they are in bloom

     so that you can pick the right color flower for your garden.  

    Plant Hydrangeas
  14. Remove suckers from fruit trees and citrus.

    Suckers do exactly that, suck energy out of the plant without giving anything in return.

  15. Keep your lawns mowed a little taller than normal

     (around 3”-3.5”) this will help reduce water loss from the soil.

  16. Attract hummingbirds

    by planting fuchsia, abutilon, salvia, penstemon, buddleja, honeysuckle and other plants that supply nectar.

    Attract Hummingbirds
  17. Celebrate your Father on Sunday June 19th.

    We have great gift giving ideas at Central Valley.

  18. Be on the lookout for grub damage in your lawn.

    Apply beneficial nematodes to your lawn for grub control.   

  19. Fertilize plants that are showing signs of deficiencies

     with EB Stone Organics fertilizers.

  20. Stake dahlias, foxglove and other tall flowering bulbs and perennials

     now so that their flower stalks don’t break.
