If you've been waiting for the right weekend to get outside and enjoy your garden, this might be it.
Warm temperatures, longer days, and everything finally coming to life around Bradford make this one of the best weekends of the year to spend outdoors. Whether you're planting your first tomato, refreshing your front porch with flowers, or simply looking for an excuse to enjoy some sunshine, now is the time.
June is when Vermont gardens truly hit their stride.
The trees are full, lawns are green, and gardens across the Upper Valley are beginning to burst with colour. It's also the month when many gardeners shift from planning to planting and start creating the outdoor spaces they'll enjoy all summer long.
What Should You Be Doing in the Garden This Weekend?
Plant Your Summer Colour
Nothing transforms a home faster than fresh flowers.
A colourful hanging basket by the front door or a few patio containers can completely change the feel of your outdoor space. June is the perfect time to plant annuals that will provide months of colour through the summer.
Whether you love bold, vibrant displays or softer cottage-garden charm, now is the time to get them planted and established.
Get the Vegetable Garden Going
Fresh tomatoes. Homegrown cucumbers. Herbs picked minutes before dinner.
This is why many of us garden.
The soil has warmed up and conditions are ideal for planting vegetables that thrive during Vermont summers. The sooner they get established, the sooner you'll be enjoying harvests from your own backyard.
Feed Now, Enjoy Later
One of the biggest secrets to a beautiful summer garden is feeding plants consistently.
A little fertilizer today can mean larger blooms, healthier plants, and stronger growth throughout the season. It's one of the easiest ways to get better results from the plants you've already invested in.
Create a Backyard You'll Actually Use
Gardening isn't just about plants.
It's about creating a place where you can enjoy your morning coffee, host family barbecues, watch the kids play, or simply unwind after a busy day.
The best gardens aren't necessarily the most perfect. They're the ones that get used.
