Now that June is here, there are plenty of jobs waiting for you in the garden to make the most of summer growth. Welcome the new season by ticking the following off your garden to-do list.
Get the mower out
Your lawn tends to be the main focus of your outdoor space, and if that’s a mess, it can affect the whole look of your garden. Regular cuts allow new grass to grow, maintaining a healthy, green lawn.
Tend to your crops
Even though autumn is the season for harvest, you can still pick some fruits and vegetables in June. Strawberries especially should be kept an eye on in case they are left to become over-ripe.
June is also a time to keep adding to your fruit and vegetable patches ready for the autumn harvest. Pumpkins are popular and can be sown now, to be ready just in time for the Halloween season.
Maintain moisture
If the weather gets particularly hot, keep an eye on the soil moisture and the state of your grass. Keep them watered if need be.
Get pruning
Keeping hedges or bushes cut back is also crucial this month.
For flowers such as roses and geraniums, deadheading is a simple task you can to do make your flowering plants look healthy and vibrant for longer.
Get the garden furniture out
Once you’ve maintained your garden, make the most of your rattan garden furniture while you can by relaxing and admiring your handiwork!
