June 2024

Summer Is Upon Us
Hanging Baskets.3.2024

June is the perfect time to plant anything and everything! Mild temperatures make transplanting less stressful on all plants including trees and shrubs. Use a root simulator to jump start growth and development and begin to establish a watering schedule!

   

It is also time to get hanging baskets outside and fill pottery and planters with blooming annuals and perennials. Utilize fertilizer high in phosphorus like "Jack’s Blossom Booster” weekly to continue lush blooms and color! And don't forget your veggies & herbs.



June Hours:

Monday - Friday 8-6

Saturday 8-5

Sunday 9-4

Pollinator Week Finale

Join us for one of our most popular events of the year on Saturday, June 22nd. Celebrating the conclusion of National Pollinator Week, we will take the day to provide hands on learning about these life sustaining creatures.


Thanks to members of Mile High Bee Club & Southeast Beekeepers, we will have good representation of our Honey Bees! From 9am-3pm you will marvel at getting to see the inner workings of these spectacular busy ladies up close and personal in an observation hive! They will be bringing all sorts of educational materials for everyone to enjoy as well.


Then at 9:45am we will have short presentation on the importance of pollinators to our very existence. Then at 10am sharp we will enjoy a group release of dozens of butterflies into the wild by your own individual hands. This popular annual favorite event is one you won’t want to miss. Check the EVENTS PAGE for more information.

General Landscaping

  • Check your sprinklers to make sure all your landscaping plants are receiving the correct amount of water
  • Weed, Weed, Weed! Not just unsightly, weeds rob your plants of precious nutrients and moisture

Shrubs, Perennials, Bulbs

  • Prune spring flowering shrubs after the flowers are spent
  • Cut back spring-blooming bulbs after the leaves have completely died back
  • Continue to fertilize your roses once a month

Veggies, Fruits & Herbs

  • Continue to plant warm season veggies (tomatoes, peppers, cucumbers, corn)
  • Protect your strawberries & cherries from birds and other wildlife with mesh netting
  • Plant your herb seeds like dill, basil, cilantro

Annuals

  • Move your annual baskets & patio pots outdoors
  • Water daily especially if your baskets are in full day sun or wind. It's best to water in early morning
  • For fantastic color feed your flowering annuals once a week with a water soluble fertilizer high in phosphorous (the middle number on a fertilizer label)
  • Continue to dead head the spent blooms

Insect Watch  

  • Be on the lookout for aphids! A tell-tale sign is honeydew on the leaves
  • Spruce Spider mites are usually at their peak populations this month
  • Protective sprays are timely now
