Summer is finally here and with June 21st fast approaching, the longest day of the year, all the extra light and warmth encourages your garden to put on that vigorous burst of growth. So not only lawns and borders will be flourishing but weeds will be as well! Hoeing regularly in dry conditions will keep them at bay.
Your lawn will require regular cutting, probably once a week, but remember in dry spells to heighten the cutting deck on your lawn mower or ride-on-tractor so that the lawn can conserve as much of the morning dew as possible with the grass being slightly longer.
