Now we're heading into high summer; we need to keep deadheading to ensure flowers continue.

Whether it's bedding, perennials, or roses (not all roses repeat flowers, but many patio and shrub roses do), if you're growing produce, you're now starting to reap the rewards of your crops. There is nothing more satisfying than cooking something you've grown yourself, not to mention the food miles you've saved!

Keep on top of hoeing and hand-weeding borders so weeds don't have time to set seed. As the saying goes, 'One year's seeds equals seven years' weeds!".

Look out for pests such as lily beetles, snails, aphids and vine weevils, and remove them before they do too much harm.

Feed and deadhead roses to keep them flowering strongly. Healthy plants are less likely to become diseased.

Keep picking your courgettes before they become gigantic prize-winning marrows!

If you have a pond, plant low-growing plants at the edges of it so that baby frogs have a safe place to hide.

Pick and enjoy your Strawberries and Raspberries regularly. You deserve it after your hard work!
