June Garden Must-haves!

June Garden Must-haves!

Here are some June garden must-haves:

Plants

• Summer Bedding Plants: Add a burst of colour to your garden with summer bedding plants like petunias, impatiens, and marigolds. These plants flower profusely throughout the summer and come in a wide variety of colours and sizes.

• Tomatoes: No summer garden is complete without tomatoes. Plant them in a sunny spot and enjoy fresh, homegrown tomatoes throughout the season.

• Courgettes (Zucchini): These versatile vegetables are easy to grow and produce a bountiful harvest. You can enjoy them grilled, roasted, or stuffed.

• Strawberries: Everyone loves fresh strawberries! Plant them in a sunny spot and enjoy them throughout the summer.

• Herbs: Grow your own fresh herbs throughout the summer. Basil, parsley, chives, and mint are all easy to grow and add wonderful flavour to your cooking.

Tools and Supplies

• Hosepipe: An excellent quality hosepipe is essential for watering your plants, especially during hot and dry weather.

• Watering can: A watering can is essential for watering container plants, seedlings, and delicate plants.

• Secateurs: Secateurs are a must-have for pruning plants, deadheading flowers, and harvesting vegetables.

• Fork: A garden fork is useful for digging, turning compost, and aerating the soil.

• Gloves: Protect your hands from thorns, blisters, and dirt with a good pair of gardening gloves.

Other Must-Haves

• Sunscreen: Protect yourself from the sun's rays when gardening in June.

• Hat: A hat will help to keep you cool and protect your head from the sun.

• Comfortable shoes: Wear comfortable shoes that you can walk and work in easily.

• Knee pad: A knee pad can save your knees from pain and discomfort when kneeling to work in the garden.

• Seedlings: If you do not have the time or patience to sow seeds, you can buy ready-grown seedlings from a garden centre.
