- Plant seeds outside: carrots and bush beans and I might plant a second round of corn. I didn't have very good germination rates with my corn and now the potato bed is available.
- Plant seeds inside: It's already time to start some fall crops indoors! I'm not sure how these cool weather crops are going to do in a toasty potting shed. I guess I will find out. This month I need to start onion, cabbage, Chinese cabbage, cauliflower, broccoli, and head lettuce.
- Weeding: A never ending story!
- Pest patrol: Try to keep the squash bugs, vine borers, and Japanese beetles under control along with any other pests I run encounter.
- Mulch the rest of the beds.
- Bench in the woods: What should be simple: buy bench and put in the woods, I've made complicated. I've decided I want a cozy outdoor daybed with a mosquito net canopy. Unfortunately outdoor daybeds are expensive, so there's going to be some diy involved in this project.
- Start installing a watering system: As summer arrives and watering becomes more and more important, I really want a drip irrigation system.
- Start on the pea gravel garden paths: This goes with the watering system. To install the watering system I will have to dig up the garden paths, so when I fill them in I want weed-free gravel paths.

Revisiting June Garden Goals
We're halfway through June, so perhaps I should post my June garden goals...

That reminds me I have to finish the small drip system I started. I won't be able to if I let the sweet potatoes grow big.
ReplyDeleteI think I'll just have to run pipes to each bed for now. Running the drip lines inside the beds doesn't seem possible with how much things have grown.
DeleteI usually have brassica seedlings in my parents hot house in summer and strangely enough they seem to like it.
