THE GARDENS are doing so well with this beautiful weather. The colour is just fantastic and its such a nice spell of weather.

The key thing is water and to do it in the early morning or late evening.

“How much?” I hear you say. It’s hard to explain so for me I use the shower head on my hose. I go over and back gently and slowly. With pots and plants growing in the ground its best to avoid the flower its self where possible.

The care we give our plants and flower will reflect on how much flowers they show. With repeated deadheading and taking off any leaves that are damaged, plants will continue to bloom throughout the summer.

If you are filling pots, have you considered perennial ones that will continue to flower throughout the summer and come back each year. Nepeta is a great one to continue following and adding campanula white or purple to the front will give you a lovely pot of colour.

Lots of combos like that can be created and enjoyed over summer months. Dahlia plants what can I say they are stunning the colours they are so vibrant as you can tell they are one of my long times favourites.

They are hard work but so worth it. They flower well into autumn and once you keep deadheading, they keep flowering.

Call in to Blossoms on the Go Garden centre see the range in stock.

Rose is starting to flower now and we have a lovely range in stock so once you have to fed them and deadheading them, they can give you a lovely vibrant show of colour.

The fragrant ones are popular but you can’t beat the lovely red trumpeter rose, it is stunning and definitely has the wow factor.

With so much going on in the garden its such a nice time lovely to be out and enjoying the evening and taking in the lovely scent and colours and sounds from nature too.

Have a fantastic week gardening.
