June Gardening
June Gardening, Northern Hemisphere
| Posted on June 7, 2011 at 2:25 PM |
There are good and bad days for certain gardening activities, according to the moon.
June, 2011
5th-8th These are bad days for planting. It's now a good time to eliminate pests, and to cut down brush.
9th-11th Good days for planting seeds for above-ground food-crops and flowers.
12th-13th Very good days for planting leafy greens. Any above-ground crops planted during this period should do well.
14th-16th Avoid all planting. These are good days in which to do hay-cutting, perform administrative duties and to engage in general farm-work.
17th-18th Plant root-crops such as potatoes, celeriac, carrots and beets.
19th-21st Poor days for any sort of planting. Kill plant-pests, fertilize, and do general farming chores now.
22nd-23rd This is a good period in which to plant late root-crops and vines. Set strawberry plants now. These are favourable days during which to do transplanting.
24th-25th These are barren days on which it is favourable for plowing and cutting hay.
26th-27th Good for planting root-crops, and for transplanting.
28th-29th Do no planting during these days; seeds planted now will likely rot in the ground.
30th June: this is the best day of the month for planting root-crops, and will be excellent for sowing seed-beds and all transplanting.

The Elegant Hydrangea Bush
Hydrangeas can be blue, white, lavender or pink, depending upon the soil conditions where they are planted, and what they are fed.

Elegant Peonies
It is time to buy and plant a large number of peonies in a place where they can be admired by all. I never bring them inside from my garden (pictured here), because they are usually crawling with ants, who love them as much as we do.
