Round up of the most important Gardening jobs to do this June
- Roses - for large flowered rose blooms, disbudding will some flowers will encourage larger, but fewer, blooms.
- In very hot or dry weather- Trees may need some help so spray the foliage with water (especially evergreens). This will avoid the crop being spoilt for the year ahead.
- Be drought conscious – re-use rainwater and bathwater on your trees and plants. Not only is it better for your garden but it is helping the environment (see our drought fears blog on how to save water).
- Keep the ground around trees and shrubs free of grass and weeds - they will grow better when not competing for food/water.
- Thin out new shoots on your trees that were pruned in winter. This will help to stimulate new growth.
Hope you enjoyed this round up of tips for the garden. Got any of your own that you would like to add? Give us a shout on Tree2mydoor Twitter or the Tree2mydoor Facebook page.
