June Gardening Tips

Mon, 03 Jun 2013 14:05:28 +0000

There is still time to plant heat-tolerant summer annuals. Just be sure to water transplants as needed until roots become established.

Remove faded flowers from plants before they set seed—this will encourage them to continue flowering.

Frequent mowing (every four to five days) is best for your grass and helps to reduce weeds by preventing seed heads from forming.

A light application of fertilizer every four to six weeks will help keep annual flowers healthy and blooming.
