June Planting Strategies

Looking ahead as June heats up?

Those native plants need some TLC before they can handle our San Diego summers on their own! Here's the secret most garden centers won't tell you: Native plants need 1-2 years of regular care before becoming truly drought-resistant Nature feeds plants through years of composting - your yard hasn't had that luxury 🍂 Worm castings (1 cup per 2 sq ft) provide the gentle nutrition natives crave

Remember that proper watering technique: water first, apply worm castings, then water again to send those roots searching deep!
