Around the garden job checklist - week 26

18 - 24 June 2012

It's time to...

Pick dead flower-heads off rhododendrons and azaleas
Hoe borders to keep down weeds, or treat with weedkiller
Scoop floating weed out of garden ponds with a net
Feed lawns with a liquid or granular lawn fertiliser
Trim hedges like privet and Lonicera nitida
Use a circuit breaker (RCD) when using mowers and outdoor electric power tools
Fill gaps in borders with pots of tall bulbs, like lilies, to add colour
Clean paths and paving with a pressure washer, then water with a solution to deter moss and algae
