Gardener’s To-Do List for June

June To-Do List for Zone 6

• Place supports for lanky perennials.
• Pinch back chrysanthemums to keep them bushy—1⁄2 inch from the growing tips, every 2 weeks until the middle of next month.
• Prune spring-flowering shrubs after they’ve finished blooming.
• Cage tomatoes, peppers, and eggplant.
• Replace finished lettuce with okra or a late crop of summer squash.
• Plant a few more runs of corn, beans, and cucumbers.
• Plant sweet potato slips early in the month.
• Inventory seeds for the fall garden.
