Tips from Tom Ross
June 2026Our Farmer’s Market opens for the season later this month! The market will run every Wednesday and Saturday, 8am - noon, through the Summer. We are still accepting new vendors. It’s free to sell. Learn more.
We still have plenty of garden seed! June is still a good time to plant squash, cucumbers, watermelon, and cantaloupe. Get growing!
Weed-B-Gon, Trimec, and other broadleaf herbicides can be applied to control spring weeds.
Give your lawn a “Shot in the Grass” …now is the time to fertilize your Bermuda grass. We recommend Ross 21-5-8 with 4% Iron, Scotts Lawn Pro, 34-0-0 11S, and 46-0-0 fertilizer blends.
Supplement your flowers and veggie plants with Miracle-Gro water soluble fertilizer to keep them thriving and to promote more blooms.
Do a regular inspection of your veggies and plants for insects and diseases.
Apply soil amendments to your flower beds and garden for better results. We suggest: Peat Moss, HUMALFA Nature’s Prescription, Cotton Burr Compost, The Cow Organic Compost and Manure.
Enjoy the outdoors without getting eaten alive! We recommend trying the Spartan mosquito eradicator. Just fill it with water and hang it in a tree AWAY from where you will be hanging out …and let it work its magic! We also have Tempo, Cyonara Bifen, and others for keeping insects from BUGGING YOU.
We have some nice Grade A Cedar and Redwood Mulch, in 3cf. bags, to brighten up your landscape. New lower price.. $9.99 for Grade A Cedar and $10.99 for Redwood.
Our Ross Spring Wildlife Mix is ready! It is a proven Oklahoma blend that attracts deer and gamebirds. We recommend planting 50 pounds/acre, May through July.
Now is the time to start implementing fly control for your animals. We recommend ADM Summer Beef Mineral with IGR Rumensin, and Garlic. Also available with CTC.
