Before you plant

A quick June garden check

  1. Check the forecast.Delay tender planting during frost, heatwaves, waterlogged weather or damaging wind.
  2. Prepare the soil.Remove weeds, check drainage and add mature compost where the plant benefits from it.
  3. Read the label.Exact varieties can need different depth, spacing, pollination or pruning.
  4. Water the root zone.Water new plants thoroughly and keep moisture consistent while roots establish.
