How to get your garden ready for summer?

Introduction

So, it’s that time of year again. Summer is just around the corner and if you want to make sure your garden is ready for it, you need to start preparing as soon as possible! Here are some ways to get your garden ready for summer:

Location

• Choose a sunny spot with plenty of room.
• Don't plant too close to the house, road or fence.
• Don't plant too close to your neighbour's property, either!

Make sure your garden is healthy and ready to grow.

Before you plant, it's important to make sure your garden is healthy and ready to grow. You'll want to check for pests and diseases, soil pH and nutrients, remove weeds and prune trees, bushes and hedges.

Prune your trees and bushes if necessary.

• Prune your trees and bushes in winter.
• Prune to shape, not size.
• Remove dead or damaged branches.
• Improve the shape of the tree or bush by removing some of its branches so that it can grow more evenly in all directions, rather than becoming lopsided over time due to weight imbalance on one side of its trunk (or multiple trunks). You might also want to prune back some branches that are growing into other plants or structures nearby so they don't damage them with constant rubbing against them as they grow bigger over time--this can cause serious damage over time if left untreated!

Plant vegetables, herbs and flowering plants.

Planting vegetables, herbs and flowering plants is a great way to get started. You can plant them in spring or summer (or even winter if you live in a warm climate). Make sure you have the right conditions for each plant before you buy it.

The best time to start your garden is when the ground isn't frozen but has thawed out enough that it won't freeze again until at least late April or early May. If you aren't sure how long your soil stays unfrozen in winter, ask an experienced gardener who lives nearby what their experience has been with their own gardens over several years of different weather patterns

Repainting

To add more colour to your garden, now could be the time to repaint your fences and sheds/outhouses or alternatively jet wash your patio/decking. By doing these you can make these look refreshed or alternatively add more colour to your garden to accentuate the bold flowers that you would like to grow.

Dedicated areas

What about a dedicated outdoor seating area to enjoy the afternoon or evening sun? By segregating the garden this will make it look more organised and could potentially make it look larger as each area has its own purpose and not an abundance of everything everywhere.
