Garden Tips

May Tips

Water and fertilize houseplants more often now.
Native eastern and forest fent caterpillars may be alive.
User salt marsh hay to suppress vegetable garden weeds.
Tomatoes can be planted when the soil temperatures are above 60 degrees.
Weeds are more likely to be a problem when lawns are mowed too low.
Harvest rhubarb by pulling off stems rather than cutting them.
Grubex grub control is best applied now.

June Tips

Prune spring shrubs when they are done blooming.
Now is a good time to move houseplants outdoors.
Mature asparagus plantings can be harvested for 4 to 6 weeks.
Harvest male squash flowers to make stuffed, fried blossoms.
All-purpose 3/8’s gravel under your herbs keeps leaves clean from the soil when watering them.
June is a good time to start growing many vegetables from seed such as beans, beets, cucumbers, lettuce, squash, and spinach.
Deadhead perennials and annual flowering plants will encourage more blooms and keep them tidy.
