Stake out leggy perennials With all the dramatic weather we've been having, it's definitely time to stake out your leggy perennials (the ones that come back every year). Heavy rain and growth spurts, can make them collapse and flop. Picking out the slugs and snails Hopefully as we move into summer they will do less damage as the plants get bigger. The best way is still to go out at night with a head torch to find them. Pick elderflower heads You can use them to make your own cordial, or add to cakes, champagne or even fry them in batter. Get on top of weeds It's around now that weeds really ramp up in the garden, so keep on top of them with hoe-ing - or just the traditional 'on your knees with a hand fork'. Try and avoid chemicals - remember weeds are just plants in the wrong place. Up the mowing You'll need to mow your lawn weekly now - if you've got time, weed it beforehand as once you mow you chop off the leaves and its harder to see them. Check on your tomatoes Your tomato plants will need attention - water, feed and regularly and pinch out the sideshoots. Chelsea Chop There's still time for the Chelsea Chop - plants like Rudbeckia's, Asters, Penstemons, Sedums and other perennials can be cut back by a third to help them get a bit more bushy, and prolong the flowering period. Sort out your tulips If you can be bothered and have space - lift and story your tulip bulbs to ensure colour next Spring. Deadheading your roses Take them down to the first set of healthy leaves - which will ensure more flowers for longer. Enjoy your space Take some time to sit and enjoy your garden or outside space - it's great for your mental health. Even just a few minutes a day can make a big difference.

I DIYed a beautiful, green privacy fence with real flowers for £9 using ‘invisible wire' – people say it looks ‘fab'
WANT to enjoy your garden this summer without nosey neighbours watching your every move? You don't need to break the bank to install new faces because this savvy gardening whizz has revealed how anyone can create their own privacy fence for under a tenner. 2 2 Posting on the Instagram account @ the pro revealed you only need two items to make the fence from scratch - and it's easier than you might think too. In the viral video he explained anyone wanting to create their own fence will need either some scrap timber or some 2x2, as well as some gardening wire. Both of these can be bought from the likes of B&Q for a relatively cheap price, depending on how big you want your fence to be, of course. Ish managed to pick his timber up for just £7 and paid £2 for his gardening wire. Once you have your wood cut to size it's time to plant it in the ground. The gardening pro explained this will also depends on how high you want your privacy fence to be, but he wanted his to be 40cm in the ground, so made sure it was cut to 2.4m so the total fence will be 2m tall. As well as the two side posts, Ish also added two smaller pieces of timber for the top and bottom of the fence. Once the timber was connected, the gardening whizz simply drilled holes along the sides for the wire to be threaded through - this is how your plants will grow securely up the fence. At this point the fence is ready to add to your garden wherever you'd like more privacy. Ish suggested attaching it to existing fence posts for extra stability, but if not just make sure it's firmly in the ground. 6 ways to get rid of slugs and snails The final step is to add the plants to fill the gaps in the privacy fence. The gardening whizz suggested fast growing climbing plants, like clematis or honeysuckle, or if it's in a shady spot, Ish recommended climbing hydrangea. "When the foliage starts growing around this the wire slowly starts to disappear and you're blessed with this beautiful wall of green," the pro said. After sharing the hack on social media fellow gardening fans loved the idea. "This is a great idea," a second agreed, "and so very helpful given the cheap cost and effectiveness." How to create privacy in your garden CREATING privacy in your garden can be achieved in a number of ways depending on your budget, and the size of your space. Here are some effective ways to enhance privacy in your garden: 1. Fencing Install a tall, solid wooden or vinyl fence. This is one of the most straightforward ways to gain immediate privacy. Or use lattice panels, trellis, or slatted fencing to add a decorative touch while still offering privacy. 2. Hedges and Plants Fast-growing evergreen shrubs or trees like Leylandii, Thuja, or Bamboo along the boundary of your garden can help with privacy. Grow a dense hedge using plants like Boxwood, Privet, or Laurel. It may take time to grow, but it provides a natural and green privacy screen. Use climbers like Ivy, Clematis, or Wisteria on fences or trellises to create a lush, green privacy barrier. 3. Outdoor Curtains Hang outdoor curtains around pergolas, gazebos, or patios for an easy-to-adjust privacy solution. 4. Sound Barriers A water fountain or small waterfall can help drown out noise, adding to the sense of privacy. Or install fencing designed to reduce noise if privacy from sound is also a concern. Top gardening trends of 2025 Gardening experts at Barnsdale Gardens has shared the top gardening trends of 2025. Matrix planting It seems that a top planting trend for this year is going to be Matrix Planting. In essence, planting in groups or blocks to give an effect of being wild whilst actually being carefully managed. Selection of the plants is essential, to give year-round interest either with flowers, seed heads or frosted/snowy spent flower heads. Some recommend using plants that seed around, but this could make managing your matrix planting harder to keep under control. Chrysanthemum comeback I hope that the humble Chrysanthemum makes as much of a comeback this year as Dahlias have over recent years, because the simple single flowered types, such as 'Innocence' and 'Cottage Apricot' would be spectacular within a matrix scheme. The hardy varieties are so easy to grow in a sunny spot and give such a valuable burst of late summer and autumn colour that would lift any dull- looking border. Blended borders For some time now we have been promoting the growing of veg within ornamental borders and I think this could really take off this year. The choice of ornamental-looking varieties available in seed catalogues is phenomenal and, if managed correctly, visitors to your garden will not even realise that you have veg growing! Must-have tool My secret is out. I discovered the Hori Hori a couple of years ago and now it seems so is everyone else. It is such a well-made, adaptable tool that can be used as a trowel or weeding tool in the garden that and everyone I speak to who have used it absolutely would not now be without it. Enough said!
