The heat is on, humidity up and growth boundless.
Here are a few things to do in June, oh, & keep July
in the back of your mind...fall planning/planting!
* Plant more peas, beans, corn, and okra from seed.
* Garden stores still have transplants ready to put
in the ground. Find more squash, peppers, eggplant
and tomatoes!
* Tie up tomatoes, peppers, cukes, and beans to keep an upward
growth habit! Use tall wood posts, stakes, bamboo.
* Fertilize your veggies. Have you tried Llama beans?
* Plant pumpkin seeds! Remember they need lots of
room & be sure to look at maturity days for length of time you'll
need before they are ready!
* Last chance to plant sweet potatoes.
* Start rooting your hydrangeas.
* Plant zinnias, celosia, sunflowers, and cosmos all from seed...
* Buy some dahlia bulbs and get them in the ground!
* Not too late to plant some annual transplants...marigolds(lots of
pretty varieties now!), impatiens, caladiums, coleus, ornamental
sweet potato vine, and periwinkle(vinca)..
Blessings from the Summer Garden.
