Your August Garden with The Plant Place
August is a month of transition in the garden. While we still hope to bask in the warmth of summer, there are subtle signs that autumn is on the horizon. This is the perfect time to prepare your garden for the cooler months ahead while still enjoying the beauty of the summer blooms.
August Garden Checklist
Lawn Care: Give your lawn a boost with our autumn lawn care products. A good feed treatment will help to thicken your lawn and prepare it for the winter months. Remember, a healthy lawn now means a lush green carpet next spring. We also offer free lawn spreader hire service.
Bulbs: Don’t miss out on our stunning range of bulbs. Plant them now for a spectacular display of colour next spring. Popular choices include daffodils, tulips, and crocus. Remember, bulbs sell out fast, so get yours early! If you are a Seed loyalty member, enjoy 15% off bulbs.
Deadheading: Continue to deadhead your summer flowers to encourage new blooms and prolong their life. This also prevents unwanted self-seeding.
Watering: While the weather is still warm, continue to water your plants regularly, especially containers and newly planted specimens. However, reduce watering as the weather cools down.
Vegetable Patch: Harvest regularly to encourage continued production. Start sowing hardy winter greens like spinach and lettuce for a continuous supply.
Pests and Diseases: Keep a watchful eye for pests and diseases. Treat any problems promptly to prevent them from spreading.
