🌼 Top Gardening Tips from Alan Titchmarsh! 🌼
Renowned gardening expert Alan Titchmarsh has revealed the best – and the worst – times to water your garden, just in time for this hot weather! ☀️
💧 When to Water:
According to Alan, the golden hours for watering your plants are early in the morning or late in the afternoon. This ensures the water doesn’t evaporate quickly as it would under the scorching midday sun.
❌ When NOT to Water:
Avoid watering at noon and resist the urge to water by the calendar, come rain or shine. If it’s cool and wet, your soil retains moisture longer compared to those scorching hot days. Use your common sense!
🌿 Handy Tip:
Don’t just rely on sight. Dig down a couple of inches with your trowel. If the soil feels damp like a wrung-out towel, you’re good to go! And always aim to water at the base near the roots rather than just showering the leaves. Your plants will thank you!
Happy gardening, and remember, a little attention to detail goes a long way for thriving plants! 🌸🪴
