Plant your herbs in a pot next to the BBQ

Your favourite herbs, such as basil, chives, sage, tarragon, and parsley, can be planted in a container and kept close to your barbeque.

When you need to grab a handful of herbs, they'll be waiting there ready for you!

A container should be able to last you the entire summer if you remember to feed and water your plants.

With the warmer weather hopefully fast approaching Its time to Move your baskets and pots outside.

As well as planting out your bedding, don’t forget to brighten up the rest of your outside space by moving baskets and pots outside.

Safety should always come first, so make sure that any brackets you have are firmly attached to the wall before hanging up your baskets. You don’t want your beautiful displays ending up on the floor!

Again, don't be discouraged if you missed your chance to plant containers and baskets earlier in the year; many garden centres sell them already planted. Go for those with plenty of flower buds that will put on a fantastic show in the upcoming weeks.

When setting up your pots and baskets, you can ensure that any additional water is absorbed rather than leaking out by keeping a little gap between the top of the compost and the top of the container.

Also, give hanging baskets and container displays a liquid feed to promote flowering every few weeks.

As we are in the second week in June now is a good time to Mow your lawn every week,

With the increased temperature and hours of sunlight, your lawn can easily get out of hand during June.

So, try and mow your lawn once a week. Lower the cutting height for established lawns and make sure to water newly seeded grass during dry spells.

However, don’t worry if you haven’t got the time to do this every week – we know you’re busy! Simply trim the edges of the lawn with an electric trimmer. This will keep things looking neat until you have the chance for a full mow.

As well as being good for your lawn, warm weather also encourages rapid w**d growth. You can tackle this issue in two ways. Firstly, go over your lawn with a springtime rake before you mow. This lifts low, creeping w**ds like clover and yarrow so that they get caught in the mower blades. Secondly, apply a specific lawn w**d killer.

We are now well into June and this is the perfect time to Plant out your bedding.

With the risk of frost gone, early June is a great time to plant out bedding to create beautiful flower displays for the summer – as well as filling in irksome gaps where spring flowers have faded and perennials are yet to bloom!

Bedding refers to the temporary planting of fast-growing plants into flowerbeds to create colourful, seasonal arrangements. Once done flowering, the plants are disposed of. Planting out means moving a plant out from a protected environment – commonly a greenhouse – and into the ground.

Following on from this, such plants are known as bedding plants and are typically:

Annuals – Plants which complete their growing cycle in a year
Biennials – Plants which complete their growing cycle in two years
Tender perennials – Plants which can’t survive harsh conditions, particularly frost
If you haven’t grown your own plants to bed, any local garden centre is sure to have a fantastic selection. Just make sure to pick a recent delivery which is looking fresh and healthy, and don’t delay as they’re sure to be popular.

Although the recommended spacing will vary from plant to plant, make sure to keep them all well-watered for the first several weeks as they establish their roots.
