Gardening Jobs for June

Hello June

Here are our 'Simon Says' June Gardening Jobs... 

• Pinch out side-shoots on tomato plants. 

• Water and feed Tomatoes regularly.

• Pinch out side-shoots, 2 leaf joints beyond the flowers.

• Harvest early potatoes when they flower.

• Keep sowing and harvesting salad leaf crops.

• Feed planted hanging baskets and tubs.  Peat-free composts require more feed than peat-based, so regular feeding is encouraged.

• Hoe, or use weed killer to kill weeds before they flower.

• Apply Evergreen Complete to lawns to keep them looking good.

• Prune spring flowering shrubs that have stopped flowering.

• Dead-head Roses regularly to encourage new growth and more flowers.

• Shade greenhouses to help reduce high temperatures.

• Lift and store Tulip bulbs when the green has gone from the leaves.

• Prune Wisteria side-shoots back to approximately 20cm of the main stems.

• Plant out tender plants, like Impatiens, Hibiscus and Coleus. 

• Apply Hydrangea colourant to blue Hydrangeas, to help keep them blue.

• Keep beans watered to prevent fruit drop.
