June Lawn & Garden Tips

In the Garden

• Plant tropical shrubs and vines like Bougainvillea, Hibiscus and Mandevilla.
• Deadhead roses to ensure repeat bloom. Feed with organic E.B. Stone Rose and Flower Food.
• Big and Bigger. Feed blooming shrubs and flowering plants with a water-soluble fertilizer like Grow More Super Bloomer to promote bigger blooms.
• Mulch, Mulch, Mulch. Mulch to keep weeds down and increase water retention in the garden.  Visit a store to see our collection of bark, mulches, and composts.
• A Beautiful Garden with Less Water. During dry weather, be sure to keep the garden adequately watered.  A weekly deep, thorough soaking is more beneficial than a daily light sprinkling. Water between 6-10am to avoid evaporation.

In the House

• Water While You’re Away. Add SoilMoist to pots. The granules absorb water and release it as needed.
• Feeding Time. Continue feeding your houseplants monthly, we suggest Jack's Classic Houseplant Food.

For the Lawn

• Water in the AM. Water your lawn in the early morning. Turf will have time to dry off before night, preventing disease.
• Move it Up and Keep It Sharp. Raise the mower blade up a notch and sharpen the blade. Taller grass can withstand dry weather and a grass blade with a clean cut needs less water.

For the Birds

• Bath Time. Keep birdbaths clean and full, especially this time of year.
• Food Please. While the garden provides a good amount of food for the birds, supplement their meals by keeping feeders full.
