Garden checklist for June
Hi,
I haven't posted in awhile. Just too busy getting my garden in shape.
Here is the checklist for June.
- Tomato, pepper and eggplant seedlings can be planted outside now in NJ.
- Continue planting warm weather crops such as vegetables, herbs and flowers.
- Mulch bedding and vegetable gardens to a 3 inch depth to maintain even moisture and to control weeds.
- Fertilize rhododendrons, camellias and azaleas immediately after flowering. Now is the time to prune these, if needed.
- Check plants for insects and control as needed. All insects are not necessarily harmful. check with your local agricultural extension for help in identification and control.
- Dig and divide spring perennials after flowering.
- If you move houseplants outdoors, be sure their containers have drainage holes.
- If spring rain is deficient, water new landscape plants to 1 inch per week.
- Check for black spot and powdery mildew on roses and treat accordingly.
- Japanese beetles can be picked by hand and drowned in soapy water.
