There is another company operating in the Bristol area called jb landscaping….just to make you aware that this company are nothing to do with us…thank you!
It is now time to prune your shrubs for the winter colour. Shrubs like Cornus and Mahonia need to be pruned 0nce they have got more than 30 stems, if you prune about 25% of stems on the shrub down to ground level, this will open up the shrub and stop the stems rubbing against each other, which can lead to infection getting into your plant. This will then give you great foliage colour during the winter. A great way to increase your plant stock is to collect the seeds, once the seed is plump and darker in colour, give them a squeeze and if they feel full, pick them and store them in a labelled envelope to keep them dry, and they will be ready to plant in the spring, or you could give them away to family and friends to introduce them to the wonderful world of Horticulture!
This is the time of year to really get the best out of your garden; there are so many beautiful and colourful spring bedding plants to choose from, as well as some lovely plants that will still look great after the summer months have passed by such as fuchsias and penstemons. Plant out spring bedding after the risk of a late frost diminishes, but before the real summer heat kicks in. Choose plants that are green and bushy with plenty of buds, and give them all a good soaking before you plant them. Is a good time to cut and shape your evergreen hedges, but do be sure to check that there are no birds nesting before you do so. This is now the time to keep up a regular mowing routine as the lawn is actively growing and to look its best, will also require feeding, moss killing and weeding. During the summer months it is a good idea to mow your lawn at least once a fortnight, as long as it is dry, and keep it in shape using an edging tool, and trim the edges after mowing. Plants will need to be watered regularly during warmer weather, and it is a good idea to do this on an evening when the sun is no longer shining on the plants, as this will reduce the risk of burning the leaves. Recycle water where you can by collecting rain water or use an irrigation system. Have a great summer and enjoy your gardens!
It’s now time to brush away the cobwebs and start thinking about spring. Bulbs planted in the winter will start to appear as temperatures increase, so it’s a good idea to prune winter flowering shrubs and cut back deciduous grasses, so that you can appreciate the spring colour coming through. It’s also a good time to prune shrubs such as wisteria and Cornus. Think about planting schemes for the spring and sow seeds indoors to give them a head start. Tidy boarders, weed and mulch with compost, Weeds will start to grow again as the weather warms up nearer to spring, so deal with them early, before they go to seed and get out of hand. As you weed, tidy boarders and mulch with compost. Aerate your lawns using a garden fork, or for larger areas, you could hire an aerator, then re seed any patchy areas, and give a spring lawn feed to keep your grass lush and green.
