Hot weather has arrived, and the garden is feeling it๐
When the sun is blazing, the main job is keeping plants happy without turning into a full-time hose operator๐ฆ
Here are a few easy hot weather hacks:
๐ฆWater early in the morning or later in the evening so it sinks in properly.
๐ชดGive pots a good soak, then check them again later because they dry out fast.
๐บDeadhead flowers to keep them looking fresh and encourage more blooms.
โ๏ธMove containers into a bit of shade if theyโre getting scorched.
๐ฅKeep an eye on hanging baskets, they can go from lovely to limp very quickly.
๐งA layer of mulch around plants helps hold the moisture in.
โ
Itโs also a good time to enjoy the garden in the calmer parts of the day, give things a quick tidy, and admire anything thatโs surviving with style.
A little care now means less sulking later ๐
