What should I do in my garden in June?
- Lift and divide perennials such as achilleas, agapanthus, hellebores and penstemons to increase plant numbers.
- Plant bare-root roses from late June into July, in a spot that gets at least six hours of sun a day.
- Spray lawns for prickly bindii.
- Improve soil structure and nutrient levels of empty vegie beds by planting green manure crops such as field peas or oats.
- Move smaller deciduous trees while conditions are mild.
- Reduce watering of indoor plants, as they don't need as much attention in winter.
- Fertilise cymbidium orchids for a pre-flowering boost.
- Watch for scale on lemon trees and spray several times with white oil or even soapy water to suffocate the tiny insects that cause it.
- Plant deciduous trees and shrubs in a full-sun position in soil that drains wall and water in well with a seaweed stimulant.
- Check citrus for scale and, if you find it, spray with white or eco oil
- Watch out for slugs and snails. Lift them from your garden and put on a brick in a birdbath – they can't swim and are food for birds.
