Summer evenings in the garden

Summer is here and although it's been a month full of showers, it's now time to get out into your garden and enjoy the long evenings.
​
The evenings are a good time, with a cool drink in hand, to get out and do a spot of dead-heading. Nothing too strenuous,  just half an hour or so of removing any spent flowers on your roses, geraniums, geums and hanging basket flowers will encourage repeat flowering – and keep things looking smart.
