General Gardening Tips
•Dead-head your bedding plants to make sure you get a long flowering period. This will also encourage repeat flowering.
•Don't forget to water your containers and hanging baskets in periods of dry weather. You'll also need to keep and eye on your fruit and vegetables if you're growing any this year.
•Pests and diseases are most likely to attack your plants at this time of year. Be vigilant as the best form of protection is prevent a problem before it gets worse. Read our plant doctor page for more advice.
•Lawns need regular attention, so mow once a week. If your lawn is looking pale, apply a suitable lawn feed, and again don't forget to water in dry weather.
•Feeding your containerised plants will help them produce flowers throughout the season. We recommed using Miracle-Gro Plant Food.
