June Garden Tips

For Your Lawn

• Apply Fertilome Weed Out plus Lawn Fertilizer
  to control broadleaf weeds and clover. Apply in
  the morning on wet grass so that particles cling
  to weed foliage. Plan your application for when
  dry weather is forecast for at least 48 hours.
  
• Remember to raise mowing height to 3 inches to conserve water during the hot months of July and August. Lawns will need a high nitrogen feeding during this time.

For Your Vegetable Garden

• Apply Espoma Garden Tone now to keep them producing all summer long.
• Stake tomato plants and remove suckers to ensure maximum production.

For Your Flower Beds

• Feed roses now with Espoma Rose Tone.
• Deadhead annual and perennial flowers to encourage repeat bloom. Discard spent flowers.
• Apply a layer of mulch to beds to control weeds and conserve moisture.
• Give plants a weekly feeding of liquid fertilizer to keep them performing all summer long.

For Your Trees and Shrubs

• Fertilize flowering trees and shrubs such as rhododendrons, azaleas, and other broadleaf evergreens after blooming. This is also the best time to prune, before next year's buds have set.
