🌿 June Gardening Tips: The Month Everything Flourishes 🌿
🌸 Hanging Basket Plants
Let your baskets tumble with petunias, calibrachoa, verbena and trailing lobelia. Feed weekly and water daily — twice on hot days — to keep those clouds of colour blooming strong.
🌼 Bedding Plants
June is the moment for bright, joyful bedding. Think marigolds, begonias, and geraniums. Tuck them into gaps for instant cheer and keep deadheading to encourage fresh flushes of flowers.
🌿 Perennial Plants
Perennials are stretching into full stride now. Cut back spent stems on early bloomers, stake taller varieties, and give everything a good mulch to lock in moisture.
🍓 Fruit & Veg
June is delicious. Strawberries ripen, peas plump, and early potatoes are nearly ready. Keep tomatoes, courgettes, and beans well-watered and tie in any enthusiastic climbers.
🌱 Garden Maintenance
Weeding little and often keeps everything tidy. Water deeply rather than often, especially during warm spells. Trim hedges lightly and keep an eye out for pests — a gentle soapy spray works wonders on aphids.
🍃 Lawn Care
Raise the mower blades slightly to help your lawn cope with dry spells. A light summer feed keeps it lush, and leaving a patch to grow long gives wildlife a safe haven.
🦋 Wildlife
June is buzzing. Add shallow water dishes for birds and hedgehogs, plant pollinator‑friendly blooms like salvia and nepeta, and avoid trimming areas where creatures may be nesting.
