Jobs to do in the garden this month…

Start to pick sweet peas as soon as they flower to encourage more blooms

Dead-head roses if they’re repeat flowering types

Pinch out the tips of fuschias and bedding plants to encourage bushier growth

Feed roses with special rose feed as they come into growth

Shade greenhouses to keep them cool

Stake tall perennial plants to prevent wind damage

Thin out annual plants if they’re overcrowded

Wait for bulb foliage to die down naturally before cutting back

Fill any gaps in borders with pots of tall bulbs

Tie-in new stems of climbing and rambling roses

Remove old hellebore leaves to expose the new blooms

Give wisteria it’s summer prune, cut long side shoots back to 20cm

Lift and store Tulip bulbs after flowering

Feed tree, shrubs and hedges with a slow-release fertiliser

Continue planting summer bedding plants in pots and borders

“Ben and the team at Hythe Garden Landscapes recently completely transformed our garden. We are beyond impressed with the whole experience, from start to finish. The team are friendly, professional and to be quite honest, were a joy to have here with us over the weeks that the project took to complete. Cannot recommend HGL enough, if you are considering them for your project you won’t be disappointed. Their attention to detail and standards of work are second to none.

We’re looking forward to having more work done with them in the future..”
