This week's tip: pinch out the growing tips on your sweet peas ๐ธ It sounds counterintuitive, but it encourages bushier plants and more flowers. Trust the process.

A garden that supports wildlife is a garden that's truly alive ๐ฟ Even small things โ a log pile, a water source, a few native plants โ make a big difference for local species.
Sunday tip: take a slow walk round your garden and check the undersides of leaves ๐ฟ Aphids, vine weevils, lily beetle โ catching them early makes all the difference.

Sunday slow ๐ฟ There's nowhere better to be than your garden on a morning like this. No rush. Just plants, birds, and a bit of peace.
#ScotsdalesGardenCentre#Gardening#Cambridge
Water early morning, not midday ๐ฟ Less evaporation, less stress on leaves, and you'll use less water overall. A small habit that makes a real difference.

Saturday ๐ฟ The best kind of morning. Grab a coffee, head outside, and see what needs doing. Or just enjoy it as it is. Either's fine.

Deadheading โ it sounds harsh but it's actually an act of encouragement ๐ธ Remove spent blooms and the plant puts its energy into new flowers. More colour, longer season.

Midweek question ๐ฟ What's the one plant in your garden right now that's really making you smile? We love hearing about your gardens.

๐ฑ Newly planted something recently? Young plants are most vulnerable in extreme heat. Give them a deep water today and consider a temporary shade cover if they're wilting ๐ฅต

๐ฟ Tempted to water your lawn in this heat? Raise your mower blade instead โ longer grass shades the soil and holds moisture much better. Simple tip, big difference! โ
