By the third week of June, your beans should be up, peas in flower and corn plants emerging from the soil.
Haven’t yet planted a vegetable garden? There is still time to put seeds of beans, carrots, cabbage and squash into the soil.
Take a shortcut and buy plants already started in 4-inch pots or gallon-sized containers from the nursery and you’ll still have all summer to watch them grow.
Almost any vegetable can be grown in a pot, but squash, cucumbers, tomatoes and herbs are the easiest if your “farmland” is nothing more than a deck or a patio.
This is also the week when your fading tulip, daffodil and other spring bulbs can have their foliage removed and suddenly you’ll find more room in the garden for brightly blooming annuals.
The test to make sure that the bulb foliage is ready to rip is to give the yellowing leaves a gentle tug. If the foliage pulls away easily, it’s time to clean up.
Letting the leaves of spring bulbs ripen slowly in the garden will help the bulb to make blooms for next year.
