Today in the Garden
June
Foggy mornings, sunny afternoons – June’s weather is a bonus for San Diego gardeners. Overcast days can be gloomy, but the cool-then-warming pattern is ideal for working outside. Key tasks focus on upcoming summer heat – monitor irrigation and mulch, mulch, mulch to make the most of precious water. June also is a boon for plants – tropicals and warm-season veggies and annuals spurt as temperatures climb. Finish any planting early in the month, leaving plenty of time to enjoy the horticultural bounty of the San Diego County Fair.
