On hot days, water is always fun to play with in the garden: Children can be tasked to water pot plants etc.
To allow grass to recover and prevent yellow patches you should move garden furniture and other objects regularly.
Early potatoes may begin to be ready for harvesting: Many are ready when the plants come into flower.
Children with an artistic bent may enjoy planting out bedding plants to a design they have developed themselves.
Apply a high nitrogen summer lawn fertiliser if not done in May to encourage a healthy-looking lawn.
Keep ponds and water features topped up and don’t forget to clean out pond filters.
More harvesting: spring lettuce, spring cabbage, salad onions and radishes.
Don’t forget to thin out, cut back or divide excessive new growth on aquatic plants.
To ensure that lawn edges are neat and well shaped, cut them with a half-moon edging iron.
