June June Mow your lawn regularly to a height of 1 to 2 inches. Do not remove more than one-third of the grass blades. Keep mower blades sharp.
Dull blades fray the grass tips, which leaves a lawn looking ragged and yellow.
Lawns need one inch of water per week. To avoid shallow roots and their inherent problems water deeply once or twice a week unless you have very sandy soils. Water very sandy soil more frequently with less water. Plant petunias, marigolds, zinnias, asters, nasturtiums, salvia, coleus and impatiens outdoors. Watch for notches eaten out of leaf edges of peonies, azaleas, bergenia, lilacs, rhododendrons, and other shrubs.
