Summer Gardening Calendar

June
- Apply Fertilome Weed-Out Plus Lawn Food in early June when dandelions are growing and temperatures are in the mid 60s or higher. Spread granules on wet lawn when rain isn't in the forecast for at least 24 hours
- Stake taller perennials such as delphinium and snakeroot
- Tie climbing roses to trellises
- Fertilize lawns, flowers, and garden beds
- Stay on top of weeding
- Prune and shape new growth on arborvitae, junipers, and yews
- Prune pine, spruce, and fir trees early to mid June
- Trim hedges
- Do final pick of rhubarb at the end of the month to allow roots to store energy for next season

July
- Remove spring bulb foliage as it browns
- If spring-flowering bulbs aren't doing well, dig them up after the foliage has died and divide them
- Water, weed, fertilize, and harvest vegetables
- Continue watering young trees and shrubs weekly

August
- Deadhead annuals to encourage more blossoming
- Divide irises and daylilies
- Complete evergreen pruning before the end of the month to prevent possible winter injury
- Apply Fertilome Classic Lawn Food at the end of the month
