Roses are at their best in June. Deadhead spent blooms, spray any roses that are diseased and give them a feed. Tie in new stems on climbing and rambling roses.
Successional sowing of vegetables such as lettuce, radish, rocket and carrots should give a continual supply for harvesting throughout the summer.
Sow some annual herbs such as basil, parsley, dill and coriander directly outside in the ground or in pots.
There is an abundance of wild flowers to spot. On verges the Oxeye daisy is in bloom this month as well as Orchids such as the Bee orchid and the Common spotted orchid. In woods look out for the tall spikes of Foxgloves.
Hedgerows will have a variety of shrubs in flower such as the Dog rose, Guelder rose and Honeysuckle.
Many trees will have now finished flowering and will be starting to form their fruits and seeds, notably conkers on Horse-chestnut trees.
