πŸ‘‰ Mulching Magic: If you haven’t already, now’s the time to mulch! Use good compost or composted bark to lock in moisture under the soil surface. This keeps your plants hydrated for longer. 🌱

πŸ‘‰ Smart Positioning: For container-grown plants, move them to a shaded spot during the day to protect them from the intense sun. You can move them back to their sunny positions in the evening or just keep them cool till the heatwave subsides. 🌿🏑

Gardener’s World expert, Carol Klein, highlights, β€œThe best mulch is plants themselves. Planting close together means soil stays cool and moist. Happy days for your green friends!”

Stay cool, and let your garden thrive! πŸ’š
