Now is the time to be putting in your summer bedding as there is no more risk of frost. If you are planting up your pots, remember to water them regularly and, if you’re planting plants such as petunias that are susceptible to slug damage, take the necessary precautions for their growth such as pet-friendly pellets and gravel. There’s nothing worse than spending several hours planting your pots only to find the next day the slugs have got at them and destroyed half the plants. If you’re not sure which plants are susceptible, ask your local garden centre and they’ll be able to tell you or drop us a line and we’ll get back to you with an answer.
Remember the Chelsea Flower Show starts this month and takes place from 22nd to 27th. If you don’t have a ticket, be sure to watch it on TV.
