Jobs to do this Summer!
Greenhouse
Put up shading in the greenhouse or use special greenhouse paint to protect the young plants from scorching in the sun.
Hanging Baskets & Pots
Plant up hanging baskets & pots for instant colour, use a slow release fertilizer to feed them & keep them looking good all summer.
Plant Feed
Feed tomatoes & Peppers with a high potash feed to keep them producing fruit all season.
Lawn Care
Lawns need a good feed through the summer. Use either a liquid or granular feed & remember to keep watering newly laid lawns so the seed keeps growing or if your put turf down it doesn’t shrink.
Pruning
Trimming spring-flowering shrubs after they bloom helps shape them and encourages future blooms. Deadheading spent flowers promotes more blooms.
Pest Control
Regularly inspect plants and act quickly to manage pests. Natural remedies or targeted treatments can be effective.
Furniture
Clean garden furniture and BBQs to extend their life and improve their appearance for summer entertaining. Protective covers can prevent damage.
We stock a range of garden furniture and BBQ’s, check them out in our gallery here or visit our garden centre for an unforgettable experience.
Be Water Wise
Be water wise & save where you can. Use saucers & trays under plants to stop the water from running away. Only water early in the morning or late in the evenings so the water doesn’t evaporate. It’s never too late in the season to install a water butt to save the precious rain water.
Deadheading
Keep dead heading faded sweet pea flowers to encourage new blooms – don’t waste them, fill a vase to bring the beautiful scent indoors.
Help Your Plants
Keep tying in the new growth of climbing plants so it doesn’t get damaged.
