In this video, I share 5 critical June garden tasks every gardener should do now. Now that June has arrived, we must transition from a spring gardening mindset to a summer gardening mindset. Growing a summer garden brings new challenges, and completing these summer gardening tasks will help maximize harvests while minimizing work in the hot sun.

Wow if only I had the money to do gardening like you do. I probably couldn’t afford the fabric bags.
I went out of town for two days and all I could think about was being with my vegetable garden 😭😭😭 got home and worked on her for 4 hours
I would think that the bone meal would attract more bugs. Does it not?
Awesome video, very informative and educational! 👏🏾👏🏾 😂 I also appreciate that you give advice for various zones/ states! One size does not fit all! Just because someone is harvesting potatoes in zone 8 doesn’t mean my potatoes are ready for harvest in zone 7B. It’s important to let beginners understand they aren’t failing at gardening if their plants aren’t ready for harvest in certain zones & different states (or countries) . Zones and weather conditions changes how you manage your garden. Some YouTubers don’t do this and leave so many new gardeners like myself very confused & frustrated. Thank goodness I did my homework and also went to free gardening classes at my local library , and also checked other great YouTuber channels like yours , also Google. Great job! Im so glad I subscribed to your channel! 😊 🙌🏾 As a new gardener 2nd year), I got very confused with the tags on tomatoes & peppers saying full sun, not realizing that the plants won’t survive in high heat temperatures. Until last year when it got extremely hot in New York last year , in July & August! 😅 I figured out real quick that I had to move my potted tomatoe/green peppers containers under a tree for shade certain times of the day when ths temps was extremely high. Thanks for the tip about checking the UV levels, if 8-9 to make sure my plants are shaded with shade cloth! I am fully prepared this year and ready for the weather, insects , fertilizing & watering when necessary. I started a routine of checking the plants every morning & the cooler evenings. I have caught insects, resolving critter & bird problems from this regular routine. So many things happen to the plants overnight! Those little buggers are busy munching and crunching so you have to be ready to check those leaves! 😅😂❤
We use shade cloth even up here in winnipeg, zone 2. Just for niche crops and for hardening our indoor grown seedlings.
I love your videos. Right to the point. Thank you!
From a third-generation Jersey Girl gardener, great video, as always! I’m afraid that earth worm by your mulched fruit tree is an invasive species”jumping worm” rather than our native earth worms. These invasive worms live in the top layer of soil and deplete all the organic matter, turning soup into a coffee ground texture that doesn’t hold moisture. Native earth worms live deeper in the soil and actually “feed” the soil. Keep up the good work and good luck in the sweltering summer heat!
I believe corn and maybe okra are the exceptions to shade cloth.
Where can I find merlin beit alpha cucumber seeds
I'm in NJ. I put 40% shade cloth up in April & it kept my brassicas from bolting.
i use dr earth dry amendment i top-dress every 21 days
Very helpful stuff. Thank you.
Always such grate advice ,,yes we walk around our yard a few times a day
Do you put the granular on as well as the fish fertilizer every week
Thank you so much!
Where did you get the huge tarp covering? I have a homestead and need a few of these!
Great video 🙂 we also do the garden walk a couple times a day. I was wondering how your pawpaws are doing??
I had to deal with baby to young snakes hiding under the mulch (pine needles) last season 😵💫
Buitiful garden bud!!
thanks, great video.
How do you keep the shade cloth from being ripped away by wind storms? It’s intense here in WNC.
Not only do I do a walk-through, I talk to my plants. Studies have shown that plants really do respond to that.
I just discovered your channel….great gardening advice & garden ! Love the adventures with Dale, too!!
I don't know what I am doing wrong but when I use that very same fish fertilizer, I have to deal with flies for the rest of the day. Even though I dilute it.
Great video! a lot of great tips as normal. Unfortunately for some of us, we live in neighborhoods with HOAs that will not allow shade cloth.
Awesome idea. I just bought my hose in Amazon. Thank you.
I urinate on the bugs to insert my dominance
