What to do in the garden in June
Continue planting summer bedding in pots and borders
Water the bedding plants well while still in their original tray or container. Prepare the site by turning over the soil with a garden fork or spade and mix in a generous load of multi-purpose and Boost soil improver.
Top Tip
Water regularly to help plants establish quickly and use a liquid feed.
Regularly check container displays and hanging baskets
Container displays and hanging baskets can soon dry out and lose their impact. Regularly check them to remove flowers and make sure the compost is still moist.
Top Tip
Give container displays and hanging baskets a liquid feed every few weeks to encourage flowering.
Plant out tender vegetables raised indoors
The tender vegetables sown in April including beans, tomatoes, pumpkins, courgettes and sweetcorn can be planted outside. Plant out sweetcorn after hardening off, arranging plants in blocks to aid pollination.
Top Tip
Dig in Boost soil improver to the hole to give the vegetables a good start, or sprinkle on the surface once they have been planted.
Start watering houseplants
As the temperatures and light levels increase. In general, the potting soil for houseplants should be kept moist, but not wet. They normally need watering once or twice a week in the spring and summer.
Top Tip
Mix in some Tend, indoor plant feed every other time you water your house plants.
Feed flowering and fruiting plants
Give flowering and fruiting plants, such as tomatoes, courgettes, pumpkins and chillies a weekly feed with Beanstalk, fruit and veg feed, as they start to flower. Spread mulch around thirsty crops such as beans and courgettes to hold in moisture around their roots.
Top Tip
Remove any foliage that might be covering the flowers and slow down the ripening process.
