June Garden Calendar

June Garden Calendar

The rainy season begins this month.

Abundant rainfall will stimulate lush plant growth- including growth of weeds!

Minimize weed growth naturally- keep a 2-4 inch layer of mulch on your planting beds. GRU customers can request delivery of a truckload of free mulch.

Now that the rains have returned, don't overwater! Water your plants only when they need it.
