What a scorcher! Catch up on our My Real Gardens get together, with me huddled under my garden brolly with a rather noisy little fan for company, trying to keep cool whilst we nattered about keeping our gardens alive in this gigantically hot weather!
We covered:
Heat survival tactics - Why plants are wilting despite morning soaks, and the crucial difference between thirsty plants and heat-stressed ones. Hint: Might be time to get a moisture meter…
Dahlia devilment - My first bloom of the season has a bit of an identity crisis - Labelled Skyfall but definitely Totally Tangerine? Plus, I'll show you the disbudding techniqueto make sure yours deliver gorgeous big blooms
The great watering dilemma - With hosepipe bans looming, we chatted about being more judicious with watering and which plants are proving surprisingly vulnerable
Sweet pea struggles - They're getting mildew despite our best efforts, but I share my best tips for keeping them going
