"On warmer days when the ground isn't too hard, fork some manure or compost around established plants, or turn over empty borders and vegetable beds."
"If you're planting out your early veg plants, don't over-fill your beds - leave some space for later plantings."
"Don't neglect your sensitive plants - if there's any chance of a frost, bring them indoors or cover them with fleece."
"Keep watering and feeding your garden during the summer, especially pots and containers – even if it rains."
"The more thorough you are dead-heading flowering plants, the better your display will last through the summer."
"If your fruits and vegetables are all ripening at once, keep picking! Produce will spoil more quickly left on the plant."
"Start planting ready for next spring - this is the ideal time for bulbs, primroses, pansies and wallflowers."
The Plant Centre is a
family-run nursery based in Uckington, Gloucestershire on the outskirts of Cheltenham.
