June Gardening Calendar:
1. D
eadheading party begins
(or continues, depending on your level of
interest in that sphere).

2.
Prune back your spring flowering shrubs if
you haven't yet.

3.
Pinch and stake tomatoes.
4. If you like salsa, keep sowing cilantro seeds
every 2-3 weeks. Alternative: let your early ones
go to seed. Then you might get plants some in the
driveway or some other exciting locale.
5. Pinch perennials you want to look shorter and
fuller. Sedum, phlox, and mums are all good
candidates.

from Jennifer Brown
Amaryllis Christmas Gift and Amaryllis Picotee: These bulbs
can take eight to twelve weeks to flower so in order to have
the plants at their best for, now is the time to pot them up. If
you have more than one bulb then try planting one a week
later to stagger the bloom time. Picotee may also come into
bloom a bit earlier that Christmas Gift, so try planting
Christmas Gift a few days before Picotee.
