June - Steps to Success for your LifeSpace GardenWell Routine

The main event is here!

The prolific season of garden abundance is upon us. Everyone’s garden favourites like tomatoes, peppers, and cucumbers can all get planted out now. If you’re in a a cooler climate, look at the forecast and try and time your planting with that first stretch of summer feeling weather.

Summer crops tend to be the heaviest feeders. Amending your soil with organic compost as you plant is best practice. Continuous top dressing with worm castings or compost tea is a no risk way to add soil fertility and is highly encouraged.

As temperatures continue to heat up, you’re garden will begin to explode with continuous harvests! So make a habit of checking your reservoirs weekly and staying on top of all the goodies ripe for picking.... and don’t forget to top watering newly planted seeds and seedlings as required.

Summer Plant Up - Steps to Success!

  • Harvest Spring Crops to make room for your Summer planting.
  • Amend soil with organic compost if not already done so.
  • Plant your Summer seeds & seedlings following your Planting Plan.
