Its hot out there!
A few days of hot weather can have a bigger impact on gardens than many people realise.
If you're trying to keep plants healthy during the heatwave:
• Water thoroughly rather than little and often
• Water early in the morning or later in the evening
• Prioritise pots, hanging baskets and newly planted shrubs
• Leave lawns a little longer to help retain moisture
• Hold off on pruning or feeding until temperatures cool down
Some drooping during the hottest part of the day is normal, but plants that haven't recovered by evening may need a good soak.
Stay cool and keep an eye on your garden over the next few days.
