In June, garden maintenance tasks are essential to ensure a healthy and vibrant garden. Here are some key tasks to consider for your garden this month: Watering: Regularly water your garden to prevent splitting and blossom end rot, especially for tomatoes. Adjust watering frequency based on the type of plants and local weather conditions. Mowing: For traditional lawns, mow regularly to maintain a healthy lawn. During No Mow May, consider leaving some areas un-mown to promote biodiversity. Composting: Utilise the composting material from your garden to enrich your soil. Fill your compost bin with a mix of nitrogen-rich and carbon-rich materials, and turn the contents weekly for optimal composting. Weed Control: Hoe borders regularly to manage weeds effectively. Prepare for drought by mulching around plants and ensuring the grass is not cut too short. Planting: Plant out summer bedding and support climbing or tall plants as they grow. Thin out fruit on fruit trees to encourage better growth. By following these maintenance tips, you can keep your garden looking its best and ensure a successful growing season
