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.
