In The Garden
It’s all about clearing weeds, pruning shrubs and or course taking the time to smell the roses.
Not forgetting to sow fast-growing hardy annuals outside to flower this year.
Put in supports for newly planted dahlias and other tall perennials.
Prune spring-flowering shrubs.
Remove any build-up of blanket weed and duck weed from ponds.
Top Tip:
Use water butts as much as possible and water your containers and baskets well in hot weather.
