Text Box: Garden Tips for June: Plant sun loving annuals and perennials such as zinnia, lantana, periwinkle and Mexican heather. Brighten shady spots with caladiums, coleus, impatiens or torenia. Wait on planting trees and shrubs until the weather cools in the fall. Water only as needed. Observe and follow the water conservation plan set by the City of Allen. Fertilize with an organic or your choice of fertilizer during June. Fertilize your containers every other week with a liquid fish and/or seaweed emulsion diluted with water. Fertilize your vegetable garden on the same schedule to keep the plants healthy and productive. Check your shrubs and crape myrtles for scale. Spray a light or summer weight horticultural oil only in the evenings to control scale. Webworms and/or bag worms can be treated by using BT (bacillus thurengensis).

Naky is mild, Sandia is spicy Ancho—Used for chile rellenos Chile Pequin—Popular in vinegar sauce Habanero—One of the hottest peppers! Jalepeno—TAM Mild, Senorita, and False Alarm are mild; yellow Jaloro is medium; Jalepeno Grande is plenty hot Serrano—Small but spicy; super for salsa From ‘The Lone Star Gardener’s Book of Lists’ by William D.
