Garden Sort Out Tricks....
By doing a few clever tasks now your garden will be sorted through summer.
1. Do a quick weed.
2. Plant evergreen shrubs to fill gaps.
3. Put on mulch 10cm thick (reducing light to the soil). Option: lay down newspaper under the mulch (superettes often have old newspapers to give away).
My pick of plants this month are: Eriostemon myoporoides (tough and pretty), Campanula Resholts (hardy and colourful), Convolvulus cneorum (elegant and trustworthy).
