June is a prolific time in our gardens and while it's usually a great time to break out that well deserved drink to help us savour the warm, scented evenings there are also lots and lots of jobs to be getting on with this month. 

This year it's all about dodging the rain in order to get things done.  The weather has been dreadful but the list of things to do remains... and just in case you're not sure where to begin, here's a list to get you started.

This is the time we usually get to relax and enjoy our gardens with the first vegetables ready to harvest, flowers in full bloom and long summer nights to appreciate our hard work!  This year has been different with the recently dubbed 'European Monsoon' playing havoc with our gardens.  All the rain has left our plants super-lush but 'late' in many respects and many of our clients are reporting a bit of a struggle to play catch up this year.  Fingers crossed we'll get some of that famous flaming June weather later in the month (though if long term forecasts are anything to go by don't hold your breath on that!).  As such we might be struggling to get the lovely balmy evening scents that June can often bring with it.

If the sun does come out to play make sure that plants in greenhouses, conservatories and windowsills get some good ventilation and shading protection too to make sure they’re not scorched.
