The June garden is when all your hard work shows its worth.
If you've created a great design, your garden during June -- summer or winter -- will be easy to access, nice to look at, and (if you chose your plants well) quite productive.
So what should you be doing in June? Here are a few questions to consider:
If you're in a high summer latitude or approaching winter and your June is cold and rainy, create adequate pathways if you haven't already, either using stepping stones, or by building a walkway, so that you can garden without kneeling in mud.
If June is your big summer produce month, get out a calendar! Schedule in times to go into your garden now, before holidays, graduations, and summer events leave you no time.
If your June winters are sunny and mild, relax! Other than doing the things below once in a while, you can sit back and enjoy your garden.
Here are the two high priority tasks for June:
How often should you be doing this? For those of you in winter: once a week. For those of you in summer: daily.
Of course, this all depends on your weather; if it's unsafe to go outside, your safety comes first!
