June is the time to:
• weed vigilantly to give your plants room to flourish
• water regularly
• check containers and hanging baskets often – water daily in hot weather
• check tomato plants and other perennials, and stake if necessary
• keep sowing carrots, lettuce, spinach etc. every two weeks for tasty veggies all through the summer
• it’s not too late to sow plants such as corn, beans, potatoes, and cucumbers, especially if the weather is still cool.
