🌸🌿 What’s blooming in your garden this June? With the longest day ahead and loads of sunshine, it’s the perfect time to give your garden some love! Here’s what every UK gardener should be up to this month. 🌞👩🌾
1️⃣ **Plant Up Summer Baskets:** Add a splash of colour with vibrant bedding plants for stunning, long-lasting displays. Remember, hanging baskets dry out quicker, so keep them hydrated and give them the occasional liquid feed. Don’t forget to deadhead to keep them looking fresh!
2️⃣ **Wise Watering:** Keep your plants thriving by watering wisely. Early morning is ideal as there’s less evaporation. If you’ve got room, install a water butt to save on water use and help the environment.
3️⃣ **Tomato TLC:** Check your tomato plants for side shoots in the leaf-stem joint and pinch them out. This boosts energy to the main fruit, giving you bigger, juicier tomatoes. 🍅
4️⃣ **Weeds Beware:** Manage those pesky weeds without chemicals! Use a hoe on borders, pull them out, or use a weeding tool. Larger weeds? Dig them out with a spade! And for lawn invaders, regular mowing does the trick.
Happy gardening and enjoy the rewards of your labour with fresh salads and maybe even your first new potatoes! 🥔☀️ #GardenGains #JuneJobs #UKGardening #GrowYourOwn
