π₯ Beating the Heat π₯
With the hot weather finally here, it's important to help your garden cope with the summer heat. Here are a few simple tips to keep everything looking its best:
π§ Water deeply and less often β A good soak early in the morning is far better than little and often. This encourages deeper roots and healthier plants.
π± Mulch your borders β A layer of mulch helps lock moisture into the soil, suppresses weeds, and keeps plant roots cooler.
βοΈ Avoid heavy pruning β Plants can become stressed during hot weather, so save major pruning jobs for cooler periods.
π₯ Keep an eye on vegetables β Veg gardens can dry out quickly. Consistent watering will help prevent bolting and improve crops.
πΌ Deadhead flowers regularly β Removing spent blooms encourages more flowers throughout the summer.
βοΈ Remember, if you're feeling the heat, your plants probably are too!
