JUNE GARDENING TIPS
  • Harvesting of asparagus spears should stop in early June to allow the fronds to form for the rest of the growing season.
  • Prune tomatoes to open the canopy of the plant.
  • Consider drip irrigation in the garden to conserve water.
  • Consider planting sweet corn in the garden every other week (until early July) to extend the harvest.
  • Thin the fruit of apples, peaches, apricots to approximately 1 fruit every 5-6 inches.
  • Apply a second application of pre-emergent herbicides in late May - early June to control annual weeds in the lawn (crabgrass, spurge…).
  • Turfgrass only needs 1-1 ½ inches of irrigation per week. Click here for irrigation needs in your area.
