What to do in the Garden in June
June is a vibrant month in the garden, with plants in full growth and summer
blooms at their peak.
Regular watering is essential, especially for containers, hanging baskets and
newly planted flowers or vegetables. Deadheading spent blooms on roses,
bedding plants, and perennials will encourage continuous flowering.
Harvesting Early Crops
It's also a great time to harvest early crops like salad leaves, radishes and
strawberries while sowing more for succession planting. Keep an eye out for
pests such as aphids and slugs, using natural or organic methods to control
them.
Weed Control
Weeds will be growing quickly, so regular hoeing or mulching will help keep
them at bay.
Tips
If the weather is hot and dry, watering deeply in the early morning or evening
will help plants thrive.
June is also ideal for trimming hedges and shaping shrubs to keep the garden
looking neat and well-maintained.
