The garden during June

During this month, we must pay attention to the watering of our plants, their nourishment and their protection from hail, diseases and enemies. We don't have many tasks in the orchard, mostly the care comes down to watering (if there is no rain), feeding and protecting the crop from diseases and enemies. The fruit trees have already bloomed and the small fruits are growing tirelessly. We are already getting the first fruits - cherries, sour cherries, strawberries, mulberries, apricots (in some areas).

In the vegetable garden we have finished planting and now it is time to take care of our plants. Care is reduced to watering, weeding, fertilizing, and plant protection. We will see what to do in the flower garden as well. In the month of June we can plant some things, but first let's see how to take care of the garden in June.

How to take care of the flower garden

In the month of June, we don't have many tasks in the flower garden. We have now finished planting the various flowers and shrubs. During this month, most flowers in the garden begin to bloom. These are different types of lilies; Turkish cloves; lupine; peony; delusion; the different types of roses; geranium; charm and others.

Water with cool water if needed. We periodically remove diseased plants and over bloomed flowers. It is good to nourish the soil and flower plantings with a specialized fertilizer. It is good to keep the soil in good condition, without weeds.

This way, the flowers will bloom longer and look fresher. Also, many professional gardeners recommend buying specialized preparations from flower shops against mites, aphids and other enemies.

We comply with the climatic features.

What flowers should we plant in June?

In the month of June, we have the opportunity to sow the following types of flowers - asters; verbena; tagetes (turta); daisies; carnations; geranium; lupinus; petunias; fuchsia; telephones; garden blush; Latin cobblestone; oblivion and others. We sow in the evening or in darker weather, in well-enriched and watered soil.

flowers that sprout quickly from seeds

The ground in the garden will soon be covered with vibrant inflorescences and a delightful carpet of green if the seeds germinate rapidly. Large seeds should be soaked to reduce swelling before planting or treated with a growth promoter to hasten germination. The best way to plant little seeds is to mix them with sand or old tea leaves.

In June, utilize fast-growing ornamental plants like marigolds, various climbing plants, dogwoods, cosmos, clarkia, asters, etc. to rapidly fill up any gaps in the flower beds.

Sunflowers can be used to spruce up any flower bed. It is still possible to plant seeds that grow swiftly in June. You can create a screen out of these giants and place them in the composition's middle. Ornamental peas or other climbing plants benefit greatly from tall, strong stems that give excellent wind support. Cut off the ripe heads at the end of the season and surprise the family with the delectable growing seeds. An ideal starting point for compost in the garden is annual plants that produce a lot of green mass. 

Biennial plants

Biennial plants can be sown in the garden in June as the heat wave begins. Flowers will not appear until next year, but when the flower bed is filled with beautiful foliage, it will be a good compensation. This year the ground will be covered with beautiful leaves, and next season you will admire the flowers.

In June, what biennials are sown? They include roses, daisies, violets, gypsophila, bluebells, and carnations. If you enjoy biennial flowers, divide the flowerbed into triangles, squares, and waves. Alternately plant different parts of the ornament so that some are covered in blooms and others in young leaves each summer.

Perennial plants

In June, it is time to take tubers of heat-loving flowers and plant them on the flower bed in the garden. If you have wondered what will make excellent June flower gardening choices, then dahlias are the answer for you. In the flower bed, bury the rhizome after leaving 3 shoots. Cut off the stem's tip when four pairs of leaves have formed so that more blossoms can grow.

It's not too late to plant gladioli bulbs if you didn't do so in May. Have you overlooked the lilies? The spring planting deadline is in June, so act quickly. Time to start a pot as well. Many flowers will have time to blossom this season if you act promptly and correctly.

Dig the ground the day before planting if it has been dry for a while and water it well. Create big holes for the rhizomes and fill them with fertilizer. After planting, give the soil another good watering and apply mulch.

Let’s not forget about our bushes and trees

The end of June is the time to shape the hedge. Trim the bushes with suitable scissors into the desired shape. Do not cut old wood, only the tips of young shoots. Water roses regularly and remove everblooming flowers. Watch for powdery mildew. Apply fungicides if you see white growths on the leaves or around the buds. And if you have rose bushes in your yard, make sure to tie climbing roses to a support.

Following these steps should ease your summer a bit and let you enjoy the beautiful view of your garden. And also, if you want to have pretty floral bouquets as decoration in your home, you can check our collection of everyday flowers and get them right away!
