~~JUNE Checklist
Its that time of year were its all hands on deck in preparation of getting the best out of your garden in the coming spring/summer months.
• Time to feed your lawns and treat lawns for moss
• Planting time for new fruit trees, citrus, roses etc
• Prune deciduous fruit trees. Cut 1/3 – 1/5 off existing tree and any prune out any branchs that are crossing in the middle of the plant.
• Spray to clean up your trees with Lime Sulphur following with Copper and Conqueror Oil 3-4 weeks later to protect them pest and diseases.
• Prune existing roses later in June/July any earlier and they could burst into life and ‘Mr Frost’ will catch them out on the new life pruning brings the roses.
• Great time of the year to shift poorly sited trees, shrubs, perennials and roses but remember leave a decent amount of soil around roots when transplanting to avoid stress.
• Indoor plants require less watering as the weather cools down so avoid over watering over the winter months.
• June brings the shortest day of the year so planting garlic is a good omen for the coming year traditionally.
