June has the longest day of the year, it's getting warmer so those weeds will be popping up everywhere.  Keep on top of them by hoeing regularly in dry conditions.

Jobs For June

  • Hoe borders regularly to keep down weeds
  • Water early morning or late evening, be mindful of watering during droughts or drought affected areas
