June Gardening Tips from Rowena Garden Centre!

June is a wonderful month to enjoy your garden. Longer days, warmer weather, and plenty of fresh growth mean there is lots to do, but also plenty to admire. At Rowena Garden Centre, we know this is the time when a little care can make a big difference to your summer displays, vegetable crops, lawns, and containers.

Keep Containers Looking Their Best

Pots, planters, and hanging baskets can dry out quickly in June. Check them daily in warm weather and remove faded flowers to encourage fresh blooms.

For long-lasting displays, feed containers regularly with a suitable liquid feed or use slow-release fertiliser. At Rowena Garden Centre, you can find composts, plant food, and seasonal bedding plants to refresh tired pots and brighten patios, doorways, and seating areas.

Support Tall and Climbing Plants

Many plants put on rapid growth in June, so now is the time to add canes, stakes, trellis, or plant supports. Tie in sweet peas, clematis, runner beans, tomatoes, and climbing roses before they become too heavy or tangled.

Supporting plants early helps protect them from wind and heavy rain, keeping borders neat and productive.

Look After Tomatoes

Tomatoes need consistent care at this time of year. Water them regularly, tie stems to supports, and start feeding once the first flowers appear. For cordon varieties, remove side shoots to keep plants productive and well-shaped.

Try to keep watering even, as irregular watering can cause fruit to split or lead to problems such as blossom end rot.

Add Instant Summer Colour

June is perfect for filling gaps in borders and containers. Bedding plants, dahlias, salvias, cosmos, zinnias, and patio plants can quickly bring colour to your outdoor space.

Whether you want to refresh a hanging basket, brighten a shady corner, or create a colourful patio display, visit Rowena Garden Centre for seasonal plants, compost, tools, feeds, and friendly gardening advice.

Keep Lawns Healthy

Lawns grow quickly in June and may need mowing once a week. During hot, dry weather, raise the mower blades slightly to avoid stressing the grass.

If your lawn looks tired, apply a summer lawn feed and water it in well. Regular edging also helps paths, borders, and beds look neat with very little effort.
