Gardening tips for August

Gardening tips for August

There’s lots to be getting on with outdoors in August, and long summer days allow you to garden well into the evening.

With garden borders bursting with life and many plants in full bloom, there are still a few things you can grow or do to get ahead of the next season. Maybe you’re starting to place your order of spring-flowering bulbs or even planting a few in your beds and borders. Keen allotment gardeners can still make last minute sowings of certain vegetables or start sowing seasonal vegetables indoors for springtime.

Most importantly, this month is all about soaking up the last of the summer and enjoying your garden to its full. August is usually the hottest month of year, so you’ll want to take full advantage!
