Preparing Your Garden For Summer

Preparing Your Garden For Summer

Whilst enjoying your garden in the summer is magical, if we ever get any sun in Ireland of course, the prep work can be quite labour intensive but it absolutely is worth it.

We have prepared a quick check list for getting your garden ready. Have a read through and at least it will give you some guidelines rather than being all over the place.

How to prepare your garden

No matter how big or little your garden is, there are plenty of creative opportunities, and going outside and getting some exercise is important for your health and wellbeing.

Make a gardening plan.

It takes organisation to decide which plants to include in your garden and when to plant them. When is the optimum time to start sowing seeds in a greenhouse? This will depend on the type of plant you’re growing. Additionally, you should pay attention to the weather forecast because a late frost can need you to bring some of your developing plants inside.

You might want to purchase plants ready for your garden. The optimal time to plant each species you intend to cultivate will vary, so try to determine it. Making a schedule for when to add each plant is essential for getting the ideal summer garden.

Flowerbeds are trimmed and cleaned.

You must prepare your flower beds for any new plants and blooms in order to enjoy the summer. Make sure to get rid of any weeds and to cut back any overgrown plants that could overhang and obstruct any new additions’ access to sunlight. Additionally, you’ll need to turn the soil and may want to add compost or mulch to create a better environment for new plants to grow in.

Lawn aeration and moss removal

You’ll see that it’s time to resume mowing the lawn! Consider aerating your lawn in the early spring. This includes making small holes in the soil using an instrument like a fork to improve the flow of nutrients, air, and water to the roots. Give it a try if you want a greener grass this year!

Make sure your patio is prepared so you may relax there and take in the sun.

If you have a patio or deck, now is the perfect time to clean off the dirt from the winter and check your garden furniture, which may have been put away. Perhaps it’s time to

Consider garden pests

When bugs in the garden wreck all of your hard work, it is irritating! Consider what pests might be drawn to your flower beds when you’re planning their layout.

Slugs, greenflies, or caterpillars can end up giving you some problems. There are a few methods if you want to get rid of these pests without using chemicals. You might try mixing some peppermint oil or even washing up liquid into a water spray bottle and giving the plants a thorough spray to get rid of greenflies.

If slugs are an issue for you, your neighbourhood garden centre may have organic slug pellets. Use them only around plants that are in danger, not everywhere.

Prepare your tools.

Prepare your tools.

Make sure your lawnmower is in working order by giving it a once-over. Over the winter, tools might have developed some rust, so reviving them with oil can help.
