Head Gardener Kate Hargreaves shares her top tips for garden jobs to tackle in June

Plant out tender perennials like cannas, gingers and dahlias, as risks of frost should have past.
Plant out summer bedding at the beginning of the month and be sure to water in well.
Cut back spring flowering perennials to encourage fresh growth of foliage, e.g., early geraniums.
Having allowed your bulb foliage to die back naturally, now is the time to cut it off.
Stake tall perennials as wind can soon knock them flat, e.g., delphiniums, thalictrum.
Keep on top of emerging weeds. Little and often helps keep them at bay.
Continue to train in sweet peas on your obelisks and deadhead as soon as the flower is over to encourage more flowers. Not allowing them to go to seed means you can enjoy them all summer long!
If you set aside an area of lawn for the “no mow May” it can still be missed in your weekly mowing schedule to keep a cool habitat for wee beasties.
Be conscientious with your watering. Water pots and containers early morning or early evening – avoiding the hot times of the day. Water at compost level rather than from above, and feed once a month with a liquid fertiliser if a slow release fertiliser was not added to the compost at the time of potting up.
