Work in the garden in June: caring for perennials
For the beautiful flowering of herbaceous perennials and ornamental shrubs, food is needed. In the first month of summer, many types of plants need feeding, such as chamomile, peonies, phlox, lichen and others.
In a ratio of 1:15 and 1:25 per m2 of planting, a bucket of mullein or bird droppings is applied. If the perennial plant has already gained buds, the solution needs to be richer. For convenience, you can use complex mixtures of prolonged action. In this case, fertilizer is applied under the crown of the plant before watering.
In June, lilacs bloom and fieldfare and other ornamental shrubs begin to bloom. When the inflorescences wither at the top of the shoots, it is necessary to cut them off, and feed the plants themselves.

Planting perennials and biennials in the ground
At the beginning of summer, frosts are no longer expected and therefore June is the best time for ornamental crops. The plants sown back in March and April are transferred to open ground.
In advance, you need to prepare a place for large flowers. It is necessary to dig a planting hole and season the soil with humus with superphosphate and wood ash. Before transferring tubers, the pit must be well watered and a support for tall plants must be installed.
In order for the plants previously sown for seedlings to be strong, they must be spread in hotel peat pots or planted in open ground at a distance of 20-30 cm from each other. But when planting in open ground, the seedlings need protection from wind and rain for another 2 weeks.
It is important to note that all plants planted in the ground only need to be watered, and after two weeks they need to be fed.
