June Checklist
June is still a good time to plant colorful summer annuals, such as Lantana, Penta, Angelonia, Purslane, Portulaca (rose moss), Periwinkle, Begonia, etc.
Most shrubs, trees, perennials, and ground covers may still be planted in June as long as adequately watered. Crapemyrtle, Althaea, Vitex, and Desert Willow provide excellent summer blooms. Fertilize new plantings with Fertilome Root Stimulator.
Hibiscus, Esperanza, Plumbago, Bougainvillea, etc. also provide great summer color for the patio and yard.
Fresh Herbs for Cooking. Plant herbs in a sunny spot close to your kitchen door. Basil, Oregano, Thyme, and Rosemary are easy to grow and great for cooking.
Spraying tomato blooms with Bonide Tomato & Blossom Set Spray will help plants set fruit during hot weather. Also if tomato fruit is brown on the bottom, apply Hi-yield Calcium Nitrate or Foli-Cal Calcium Concentrate.
Mulch, Mulch. Mulch to keep weeds down and increase water retention in landscape beds and gardens. Use Western Red Cedar Mulch, Grade A Cypress Mulch, or Pecan Hulls.
During dry weather, be sure to keep the garden adequately watered. A weekly deep, soaking is more beneficial than a daily light sprinkling. Water between 6-10 am to avoid evaporation.
Pinch back leggy annuals and remove old blooms, also called Deadheading, to encourage new growth and blooms. Fertilize with TLC Garden Max or Espoma Organic Flower-Tone and water regularly.
Fertilize Bermuda grass lawns every 6-8 weeks with TLC Premium Lawn Food.
June is a great time to plant Bermuda Grass Seed for sunny lawn areas.
Crabgrass is actively growing now. Spray lawn areas with Bio Advanced All-In-One Lawn Weed & Crabgrass Killer and spray flower and shrub beds with Ortho Grass-B-Gon.
Kill most common lawn pests, including ants, fleas, ticks, and grubs with Bio Advanced Complete Insect Killer.
Proper watering of newly planted trees and shrubs often means the difference between success and replacement.
Insect activity and damage is commonly found in June. Keep a close eye on all plants and bring samples of insects or damage to TLC Garden Centers for diagnosis.
Spent some time looking into platforms listed for Icelandic users. The market is genuinely small, and that shows. Iceland has specific rules around gambling activity, so most options discussed online point toward international operators rather than anything locally regulated. I came across http://www.toponlinecasinosiceland.is/ while comparing a few aggregator pages. What stood out was how much the practical side varies across sites: currency handling, document verification, support availability, and how long withdrawals actually take. A flashy front page tells you almost nothing useful. Acceptance of Icelandic visitors does not equal local oversight or consumer protection standards. Worth verifying those details before committing to anything. Approach with reasonable caution.
