SHOULD WE CONSIDER JUNE AS PART OF OUR INTIAL PLANTING SEASON?
June is not too late to plant –ESPECIALLY since our growing season has been pushed out a bit. This Spring has been a short one — with unseasonably cooler temperatures and plenty of wind in May. So YES definitely there’s plenty of time to plant!
You can plant bush and climbing beans, calabacitas, eggplants, peppers, potatoes, pumpkins, summer and winter squash, sweetcorn, tomatoes, zucchini, and anything else that you desire!
All of these are warm-weather vegetables that will catch up during this late planting season!
Climbing beans need support but they produce far more food over a longer period than bush varieties do in the same space. Plant tall sunflowers or sweetcorn now, then climbing beans about three weeks later. The beans will crawl up the stalks of the taller vegetables, saving you the expense and bother of beanpoles. You can also try planting in partial shade bolt-resistant lettuce and mixed salad greens (“mesclun”). Pick them young and plant on successive sowings.
JUNE WATERING TIPS!
Watering is best performed in the cooler times during the morning or evening. Remember, plants need 1.5-2 inches of water per week during hot weather, we’re talking about in-ground plants. Plants in hanging baskets, window boxes, and other containers, which rain does not moisten effectively when we have it, will need regular watering. Now with this hot weather … run all the hot water from the hose to keep from scalding the plants!
Here are some tips on how to water properly during the beginning of JUNE:
Please check your plants and make sure that they are receiving enough water. Without rain, here’s a list of watering techniques to consider:
* WATER LESS FREQUENTLY, MORE DEEPLY: Water thoroughly 1-2 times per week instead of a light application every day, in other words, soak the entire root zone.
* INSTALL A DRIP IRRIGATION SYSTEM
* COLLECT AND CHANNEL WATER: Place rain barrels or other large containers under canales to catch roof run-off — IF we ever get any rain!!!
* GIVE EACH PLANT ONLY AS MUCH WATER AS IT NEEDS. But remember: new plantings need generous amounts of water to become established.
TJ’s TIP: Make sure to use a “slow” dripping watering technique with your hose or irrigation system. Don’t just spray all over the place like SCRUFFY in the photo. Keep the hose or other watering supplies closer to the plants … this way the water won’t evaporate so quickly during these windy and hot days!
VALERIE’S VIEW from the Greenhouse!
WANT WHAT MY NEIGHBOR HAS!
We get customers asking us for the same few plants all the time. They want exactly what their neighbors have. Such as Russian Sage, Salvia May Night; Jupiter’s Beard and Moonshine Yarrow. They also want Aspen trees.
Because they see Russian Sage planted everywhere in Santa Fe, they believe it must be an indigenous plant to Santa Fe. It is not. The scientific name for it is pervoskia atriplicifolia aka Salvia yangii which is from Afghanistan. The 3 perennials listed above, have been used extensively in the medians around town, hence why everyone wants them. They assume that they are drought tolerant. They all bloom in unison in the spring which does make them very compatible but the individuals who have adopted those medians do water them regularly.
Last but not least, the Aspen tree. Aspen trees naturally grow at 8,600 feet. They can grow at this elevation if they are given the right micro-climate. They will do best on the north or east side of the house. They require 10 gallons of water per inch caliper of tree truck per week. Therefore, if you have a clump of three aspen trees each with a tree trunk that is 1” thick, you need to supply that clump 30 gallons of water each week. They also have other issues that require regular attention.
Don’t take gardening too seriously. Plant what you like, not necessarily what your neighbor has. Make sure they get the right light, water and fertilizer conditions as needed. I have customers tell me all the time that I must have the most perfect garden. My husband and I do have the perfect garden. We don’t do much planning, however we usually plant just what is left over in the greenhouse, if anything!

ASK THE GARDEN GURU?
| DO YOU KNOW WHY GERANIUMS ARE SANTA FE’S FAVORITE PLANTS? In this week’s archived show from previous years, the Garden Guru chatted about one of the most popular and easy to grow plants in Santa Fe are geraniums. Payne’s sells thousands of geraniums and it’s because they’re so colorful and they love Santa Fe’s climate! The cool nights and the bright sunny days make them perfect for this climate and they’re really easy to grow! They require full SUN – a minimum of six hours a day and they will bloom all season long. But there is a trick to growing them so healthy. Listen to Lynn’s tip on his recommendation about transplanting and fertilizing geraniums. |

ZODIAC SIGNS AND GARDENING? HERE’S THIS CYCLES PROFILE.
by The Old Farmer’s Almanac
Here’s THIS MONTHS ZODIAC SIGN PROFILE AND HOW IT CAN HELP YOU GARDEN:
GEMINI (MAY 21 to JUNE 20)
Gemini finishes the spring, but the sense that a change of seasons is near keeps you light and airy. Plants that mimic your style, such as dill, calendula, caraway, and parsley, are easy for you to grow and make your heart dance. Wild carrot and dandelion—whose airborne seeds swirl and twirl in the wind—bring joy and contentment. You find yellow flowers particularly captivating, and dashes of this color can be found liberally in your yard. Salads grace your evening meals (the quickness of “wash and eat” is indescribably tantalizing). Toss some calendula blossoms right in the bowl for an added dash of pizzazz and panache.
