Cutting hedges
In June, we trim the hedges. For this treatment, we choose rather cloudy, cooler days.When cutting, pay attention to the shape of the hedge - the most advantageous form is the trapezoidal form, i.e. the base should be a few centimeters wider than the upper plane.First cut the sides and then the top. After cutting, fertilize and water the hedge.
We sow biennial plants
Now is the best time to sow biennials: forget-me-nots, pansies, daisies, mallow, foxglove and garden bells.The last three species can be sown on a seedbed or a permanent place, while the remaining species are sown in boxesSowing must be regularly, gently watered and sheltered from direct sunlight.Quilt seedlings after 3 weeks.
We are breeding shrubs
All shrubs with flexible stems, such as clematis and Japanese quince, can now be multiplied by laying horizontally.We can also take top cuttings from deciduous shrubs shedding their leaves for the winter.
We remember about beauty treatments
June is a period of very intensive plant growth. So let's remember about fertilizing and watering perennials, shrubs and annual plants growing both in the ground and in boxes or pots.When watering, we do not forget about the rule: better less often, but more abundantly, so that the water reaches deeply into the entire root system.
Such watering will ensure not only the water supply, but also the proper development of the roots. Plants in boxes and pots are watered every day, and generally every week. Perennial beds are systematically weeded, while loosening the ground.
We care for the lawn
The grass grows fast this time of year.So it needs to be mowed regularly, every week. In hot weather, mow the grass a little higher and water it generously once every 3 days.After mowing, it is worth refilling the lawn.
We care about balcony plants
Annual plants growing in boxes and pots should be watered daily, preferably in the early morning or evening.During hot weather, we can water them even twice a day, first checking if the second time is really necessary.Once a week we supply balcony plants with fertilizer for flowering plants, preferably intended for a specific group of plants.
Let's check the plants for pestsOften, after knocking off the leaves, numerous white flies appear. They are greenhouse whiteflies. In this case, it is worth spraying the plants with an appropriate preparation. Spraying must be repeated several times at weekly intervals.
