June brings longer days and warmer weather, making it the perfect time to get out and enjoy your garden. Here are some of our top jobs for getting done in June to keep your garden looking its best.
With the increasing temperatures, it's crucial to ensure your plants are well hydrated. Water them early in the morning to minimise evaporation.
Keep your garden looking tidy by regularly checking and removing weeds as soon as you spot them. Using bark chippings can help suppress weed growth by providing a barrier to stop sunlight from passing through.
Keep your lawn in peak condition by mowing regularly and watering. Applying a lawn top dressing can help to promote health growth and keep your lawn looking vibrant.
As your plants grow, they may need additional support to prevent damage. Use stakes for tall plants like delphiniums and tomatoes to keep them upright, and trellises for climbing plants like sweat peas and beans.
If you have been growing your own fruit & veg, you can start to harvest early crops including strawberries, radishes and salad greens. Pick produce regularly to encourage more growth and prevent plants from bolting.
Keep your garden looking its best by cleaning patios, decks and garden furniture.
Happy gardening!
