Summer is, of course, the season to enjoy your garden par excellence. Not only to relax and enjoy the nice weather, but also to work in your garden. After all, with the sun high in the sky, it is great to be outdoors. Moreover, a beautiful and well-maintained garden allows you to enjoy it even more. With these 4 practical gardening tips for the summer, you know exactly what to do!
When you think of summer, you naturally think of exuberant blooming flowers. It is a beautiful sight and also a feast for all the butterflies and bees. So fill your garden with summer bloomers. Perennials such as roses and hydrangeas bloom every year and supplemented with annuals such as pansies, petunias and marigolds you create a sea of flowers in your garden.
Do you have fruit trees in your garden? If so, it is important to prune them a bit in the summer so that sunlight can reach the fruits. Summer is also the ideal time to prune hedges. This will bring your hedges back into shape and pruning will cause the plants to create new branches, making your hedge even denser.
Lounging on the grass … It’s possible again in summer! But then, of course, it is important that you maintain your lawn properly. For example, in summer it is important to mow the lawn once or twice a week. Is it very hot? Then mow a little less often to avoid drying out. During such periods, it is obviously important to water the lawn extra. Preferably in the evening, otherwise the grass can burn.
A pond in the garden is a source of life and a pleasure to look at. A pond does require some maintenance, but fortunately in the summer it is far from a punishment. It is very important that you keep an eye on the plant growth in the pond and remove it as soon as it tends to become too much. If it is very hot, you may also experience algae. This not only looks unsightly, but also poses a threat to other life in the pond. With a rake or pitchfork you can easily remove the algae.
