Tasks
Monthly tasks
Monitor soil moisture closely, as high temperatures and moderate rainfall (56.3mm) mean plants can dry out quickly. Apply mulch to conserve water and suppress weeds. Watch for common summer pests like spider mites and squash bugs. Provide afternoon shade for sensitive plants if temperatures consistently exceed 35°C. Fertilize actively growing plants according to their needs.
