June

With June being the start of summer, in theory this should mean you can relax and enjoy the warmth of the summer days and evenings. With English weather being what it is, our advice is when you get the opportunity to enjoy the sun, take it! Of course, there are still the normal routine jobs, such as mowing the grass, that need looking after and if we are blessed with sunshine don't forget to water more frequently

It's finally summer! June is a great month to enjoy working in the garden. The borders will be looking their best. Also a month to harvest early fruits.

A healthy green lawn gives the garden a bright, fresh look. However, grass has a hard time in summer due to the hot temperatures and high humidity. Here are some useful tips for looking after your lawn this month.
