June Gardening Tips

As June is peak growing season, there are plenty of tasks to complete to ensure your garden is up to scratch. First, it is a crucial time to water deeply where you apply mulch to retain soil moisture. It is important to regularly deadhead fading flowers to encourage continuous blooming. Also, it is an ideal moment to plant heat-loving vegetables, tackle weeds, and tie up tall plants.

Be sure to sow quick-growing crops like radishes, lettuce, and beetroot every few weeks to promise a continuous summer harvest. Also, start sowing heat-loving herbs like basil in sunny, well-draining pots. Make sure to keep an eye on pests, check for aphids on soft new growth, and hunt for any slugs or snails wreaking havoc on damp evenings.

In terms of lawn maintenance, raise your mower blade slightly if the weather is hot to prevent the grass from burning out. And feed the lawn if it requires a boost.
