By now the garden should be looking rather smart, but if there are and gaps in borders, or if the patio still needs a bit more colour, then do a quick top up before sitting back and enjoying it all while the weather is good. Many of you wont be able to sit still for long though as there are always lots of little jobs that will niggle unless they're tackled. Things like deadheading flowers that are past their best, tying in wayward climbers, pulling out the occasional weed and some general primping and preening won't take long, and they can all be tackled with a cool drink in easy reach. The plants will need plenty of these too, so make sure you keep up on the watering and they don't go thirsty.
