June Gardening Jobs
Need a little gentle guidance for your garden this June? The Sun's Gardening Editor, Veronica Lorraine, has shared some handy tips to keep your green oasis blooming.
Stake Out Leggy Perennials
With the wild weather we've been experiencing, it's crucial to stake out your leggy perennials, especially those that return each year. Heavy rain and growth spurts can leave them flopping about, so a simple stake can keep them erect and lively.
Picking Out the Slugs and Snails
Although we hope slugs and snails will do less damage as the plants mature, it's still essential to nab them when you see them. Head outside at night with a head torch to spot these pests and neutralize them.
Pick Elderflower Heads
Craving something refreshing and homemade? Harvest elderflower heads to create your own cordial, add them to cakes, champagne, or even deep-fry them in batter. Just don't forget to check for bees first!
Get on Top of Weeds
June is peak weed season, so making time to hoe them out regularly will help keep your garden looking fantastic. Remember to use a hand fork for small weeds or a hoe for larger ones. Opt for eco-friendly weed removal methods if possible, as weeds are just plants in the wrong place.
Up the Mowing
With longer days and warmer weather, it's time to rev up the mowing. Aim to mow your lawn weekly. If you can, weed it beforehand to ensure a neat, weed-free surface.
Check on Your Tomatoes
Your tomato plants will require regular attention in June. Be sure to water them, feed them, and regularly pinch out the sideshoots.
Chelsea Chop
It's not too late to perform the Chelsea Chop, which involves cutting back plants like Rudbeckia, Asters, Penstemons, Sedums, and other perennials by a third. This will encourage bushier growth and prolong the flowering period.
Sort Out Your Tulips
Consider lifting and storing your tulip bulbs to ensure a colorful display next spring.
Deadheading Your Roses
Deadhead your roses, removing dead flowers, leaving only healthy leaves. This will encourage more blooms and prolong the blossoming period.
Enjoy Your Space
Take some time to relax and enjoy your garden or outside space. Even just a few minutes a day can boost your mental health. So, kick back, grab a drink, and bask in the glow of your green oasis - well done you for all your hard work! 🎉💖
