Episode 424 - June Garden Checklist: What to Do Now to Keep Things Thriving
June might feel like the honeymoon phase in the garden — everything's green, lush, and thriving. But don't let the beauty fool you — this is a critical time to stay proactive if you want a healthy, productive summer garden. 💪
In this episode, I'm sharing what to plant, prune, harvest, and watch for in June — plus a sneak peek at an upcoming live workshop that you won't want to miss! 👀
📝 Here's what we'll cover: 🥬 What to do with bolting lettuce, spinach & other cool-season crops 🌱 Heat-loving crops to plant now (yes, it's not too late!) ✂️ How and when to harvest herbs & prune basil for continuous growth 🌻 Flower & herb upkeep — deadheading, staking, and more 🐛 What pests to look out for (and what to do when you spot them) 💦 Watering tips for containers and raised beds 🔥 Why June is a great time to build soil health and how I use Organic REV all season long 📆 Coming June 17: A brand-new Summer Garden Workshop all about pest prevention, disease control, and how to grow stronger, more resilient plants 🌿✨
🎧 Tune in for practical tips to help your garden thrive in the summer heat — and get ready for even more support in the workshop later this month!
