While doing some research on events related to June (and of course related to gardening), several sites and articles spoke of June as a time of reflection and transformation. June events include Father’s Day on June 16, Juneteenth on June 19 (celebrating the end of slavery in 1865) and the summer solstice for the Northern Hemisphere on June 20. And then, there is the color red which comes into play. Many gardeners “see red” in June with flowers and produce.
