June time conquers with the color of flowering plants. This is the time of active growth and formation of inflorescences. The flower garden needs your help and the necessary work. Let's talk about dressing, caring for clematis, roses, dahlias, irises and others. About sowing biennials and digging bulbs

The condition of the flower garden and care measures

June is blooming peonies, irises, the time of splendor of tuberous begonias. Shoots of clematis and roses are actively gaining strength, numerous buds appear on the stems, perennials and two-year-olds begin to bloom. June is the time for fertilizing, weeding, watering and other urgent matters.

All thermophilic annual plants are already planted without fear: zinnias, marigolds, fragrant tobacco, salvias, dahlias, ageratum, annual phlox, petunias, sweet peas, asters, tagetes. A couple of days after planting, it is necessary to water with Epin's solution (5 liter capsule), after two weeks - with urea (tablespoon per bucket), if necessary, feed with bird droppings / mullein infusion.

If May was cold and you didn't plant dahlias, then now their time has certainly come. Place the supports immediately, as by this time the sprouts are large enough. Leave only three shoots on the plant, and pinch each shoot above the fourth leaf for abundant flowering.

Gladioli grow well in loose, fertilized soil without weeds. In June, they need regular weeding and double fertilization. The first is when the third sheet is formed. The second is on pages 6-8. Top dressing: ammonium nitrate, potassium salt, superphosphate (20:10:30 g per 10 l). The solution is distributed in the grooves between the rows.

Don't ignore peonies, their large flower caps weigh down the stems and need support. Tie up the bush, or better place the ring-shaped supports that are sold everywhere. With beautiful designs, your flower garden will take on a decorative and well-groomed look. Monitor the flowering phases and promptly remove wilted heads from peonies, this will prolong flowering and do not form debris due to fallen petals.

In irises, after the wilting of the inflorescences, you need to remove the peduncles by breaking or cutting them along with the leaves. The injured areas are sprinkled with crushed charcoal. After this operation, a complex mineral fertilizer or a ready-made mixture of Kemir is applied.

Cannes planted in early June (in a sunny and calm place) are added every ten days alternately with mineral and organic substances. Clematis must be given food in the form of watering: add potassium salt (10 g) to a bucket, a liter of bird droppings diluted 1:20, you can use mullein (1:10).

For tree-like peonies, to lay more buds, pinch one or two buds in the axils of the upper leaves. To obtain seeds, leave 1-2 inflorescences, the rest are cut off as they wilt. For forsythia and lilacs, wilted clusters of inflorescences must be removed.

Roses in June cannot be ignored. Be sure to get plenty of water, usually a large watering can on the bush. Give mullein and mineral feed. Inflorescences, ready to wilt, are cut off together with 2-3 leaves. This technique stimulates the rapid development of new flowering buds and increases the budding period of the bush.

From the second half of June, you should start sowing biennial flowers: Alpine forget-me-nots, Turkish carnations, poppies, bells, foxgloves, viola, daisies, mallow. Plants dive 2 weeks after germination.

Working with bulbous

At the end of June, in the southern regions, an annual event begins to dig up the bulbs of hyacinths, hazel grouse, muscari and tulips. For narcissists, there is a frequency: after 3 years or 5 years. You can determine the start time of harvesting by the leaves and peduncles - they should completely dry out.

The best moment will be the darkening of the covering scales on the bulb, you can determine this phenomenon by pulling the leaf, it should easily be pulled out of the ground, and the peduncle will remain, holding on to the bottom. It is more convenient to dig out the bulbs with a pitchfork. After being removed from the ground, the bulbs are kept in a weak solution of manganese and dried.

Finished specimens are sorted by grade and placed in lattice, "breathing" containers such as boxes, in layers of no more than two. Store in a ventilated place until planting.

At the end of June, work begins with daylilies: dividing the bush and replanting. It is better not to postpone this event until the end of summer, since the plant should come into force, develop the root system and have time to get stronger before autumn.

Flower garden pest control in June

The beginning of summer is the period of activity of aphids, a dangerous phenomenon for flower buds. At the first signs of appearance, you must immediately take action, otherwise all the buds will be destroyed.

You can do with folk remedies in the form of soap, soda solutions and milk. With a large distribution, the results will be given by chemicals: Fundazol, Karbofos, Fufanon, Fury, etc. Biological preparations will effectively help: Fitoverm, Agravertin, Aktofit, Aversectin, Akarin. Systemic substances that remain in plant cells for 2-4 weeks work best of all: Commander, Tanrek, Biotlin, Prestige, Confidant, Aktara.
