What to do in the garden for June

• Camellias are blooming so buy new plants now
• Older Hydrangeas may be pruned now – remove older grey wood and reduce younger canes to a good pair of buds
• Plant new deciduous trees, shrubs, roses and vines
• Lift Dahlia tubers, divide and store in sawdust in dark dry area
• Houseplants should be moved away from heaters
• Do not allow vegetable plants to dry out
• Prune Pome fruits (Apple, Pear, Quinces etc.)
• A winter spray of pest oil or copper spray will clean up fruit trees
• Shred prunings and add to compost or mulch
• Remove any broken or crossed branches from trees or shrubs
• Rake fallen leaves onto beds or compost – don’t burn
