June Gardening Tips

Beware of the slugs! Check for slugs during rainy periods and handpick the little suckers (gross but necessary). Don’t forget to remove deadheads (and I’m not talking about the ones forming a drum circle around their VW camper van)

It’s important to remove dead flower heads at this time of year to allow new buds to bloom. Mid to late June is an ideal time to take softwood cuttings of shrubs to start new plants.

Once you’ve de-slugged your garden, you can take advantage of the cool, wet weather by planting lettuce and other leafy greens that do well in cool, moist soil.
