3 mistakes gardeners make in June 👇
🌸 1. Letting faded flowers sit too long
Many summer plants will produce more blooms if you regularly remove spent flowers. A few minutes now can mean weeks of extra colour.
💧 2. Forgetting that containers dry out much faster
Hanging baskets, pots and planters often need much more attention during warmer weather than garden beds.
🍓 3. Leaving fruit unprotected
As strawberries, cherries and other fruits begin to ripen, birds and other visitors will often get there before you do!
A few small jobs now can make a huge difference to how your garden looks and performs throughout summer. - Which one are you most guilty of? 👀
