Summer Gardening Tips to put on the Calendar

From mid to late June there are a few landscaping tips that you can add to the calendar that will help you get the most out of your yard this season. Take a look at these great tips featured on www.colostate.edu.

In Mid June

  • To conserve moisture, mulch tomatoes after the soil is thoroughly warm this also helps to prevent blossom end rot.
  • Use either organic material or permeable fabric to mulch the whole vegetable garden. This maintains even soil moisture and inhibits weed growth.
  • Go ahead and continue planting balled-and-burlap trees and shrubs until the end of the month.

Late June

  • Make sure you water your raspberries, they need up to three inches of water each week.
  • Plant bush beans bi-weekly until August 1 for a continuous harvest.
