Garden
We multiply bushes
June is the most suitable month for the propagation of bushes by green cuttings. These are obtained from the still unlignified lower or middle parts of the shoots that appeared this year.In order for the seedling to be successful, it should contain at least one bud and one leaf.Their growth is supervised in boxes with a moist substrate; peat mixed with sand in a proportion of 2: 1 is best for this purpose.
Remember to cover the box with foil, and after 4-5 weeks the seedlings will release a root system suitable for planting into the ground. This method is suitable for the propagation of, among others, tawou, hydrangea, forsythia or other shedding shrubs.
Dig out the onions
When the tulips, hyacinths and daffodils drop their last leaves, we can dig out the bulbs. However, this phenomenon should not be expected until the end of June.To be able to plant the dug out bulbs next season, remove them from the soil and leave them for two weeks in a ventilated place.After reviewing the bulbs and getting rid of the sick, clean the rest thoroughly and keep them in a dry and airy place at a temperature of 20-23°C until autumn planting.
Trim and divide perennials
In June, fading inflorescences should be removed from perennials that repeat flowering in autumn - delphiniums and lupins. Similarly, the rejuvenating cutting of faded pigeons, flames or geraniums should be performed.
After the perennials have faded, we can also divide them.Cutting through carp, e.g.with a spade and leaving their he althiest parts with properly shaped roots, we increase the chances of their reacclusion in the ground.Remember - after planting carp, they should be watered systematically and protected from the sun for at least a few days.
Fertilization of perennials
In the case of perennials, remember that their fertilization will depend on the quality of the soil and the requirements of the plant. As a standard, however, this treatment is carried out with multi-component fertilizer two or three times a year, scattering the mixture between the clumps.When performing this treatment, remember to keep the fertilizer away from the leaves of the plant, and cover the mixture with a thin layer of soil after sprinkling.
We don't forget the lawn
June is also a time when grass grows abundantly, which means that it should be regularly watered and mowed.Additionally, it is worth removing weeds from the lawn and leveling its edges at flower beds, e.g. with a spade.
Set up a composter
Weeds collected from the lawn, cut grass or withered perennials can still be useful! By creating our own composter, we can recover the organic matter accumulated in the waste, which will eventually nourish other plants in the garden in the form of fertilizer.
Sad
We care for young and transplanted trees
Both trees planted and transplanted in spring require special attention in June.Young trees have poorly developed root systems, which do not provide the required amount of nutrients and water.Therefore, they should be watered at least once a week. The trees transplanted in May, in turn, should be released from their bonds and the accepted slips should be protected against the wind.
We form crowns
In June there is also an intensive time of growth of young trees, which need crown formation for further he althy development.We make them by bending the branches to a horizontal position.Bend those 15-20 centimeters long with clamps, but stronger ones will require the use of weights or string.Remember that this procedure can only be performed until the shoots become lignified.
First collections
Strawberries, wild strawberries and early varieties of cherries, currants or raspberries - these fruits may be ready to harvest in June. It is worth remembering that we pick wild strawberry fruits without the calyx and the stalk, and the other way round, with the stalk and calyx.
We thin the buds
If the spring weather was kind to our orchard, we can expect abundant flowering of many trees in June.This moment should be used to thin the buds on e.g. apple, pear, plum or peach.There are two ways to make it: chemical (performed immediately after flowering) or manual (6 weeks after flowering) .
When the fruit is about 1 centimeter in diameter, leave only one largest bud in the center of each shoot. When removing unnecessary, remember to remove the buds by themselves, leaving the stalks. This treatment will force the tree to bear fruit each year with good and he althy fruit.
Vegetable
We care for the beds
If we sowed carrots, endives or cucumbers in May, June is the time for the first break.More attention should also be paid to tomatoes - both those grown in the ground near the stakes and under covers.Remove the side shoots growing from the leaves and the excess main shoots. Additionally - we tie the shoots to the supports and fertilize them with mineral or organic fertilization.
We are still sowing and planting
In free places that appeared in the vegetable garden after harvesting early vegetables, you can sow e.g.beetroot and carrots for autumn harvest. You can also safely sow cucumbers until around June 10, and green beans and late varieties of radish until the end of the month.
Collections
Throughout June, we can harvest, among others, lettuce, cabbage, cauliflower, carrots, beets and radishes, as well as spring onions, green garlic or peas.
We control the tunnels
The first heat waves may appear in June, which is why it is so important to control the conditions in tunnels and frames.First of all, pay attention to the internal temperature and air humidity.Greenhouses are aired in hot weather, as are tunnels - temperatures above 30°C can be harmful to the farms plants.
