IT'S HIGH TIME FOR SUMMER

COLOURFUL HANGING BASKETS CAN BE A FLOATING GARDEN THROUGHOUT THE SEASON

- 

AS May draws to a close, it feels summer is arriving. Daylight stretches well into the evening, temperatures are on the rise, and the soil is warm - ideal conditions for getting out into the garden.

Now is the perfect time to plant summer bedding in most areas, as the risk of frost is largely behind us. But keep an eye on local forecasts; if night temperatures are expected to drop below 7°C, tender plants may still suffer.

In those cases, protect your plants overnight with horticultural fleece, hessian or even a light sheet.
