Take them outside and treat them to a little fresh air and summer sun, just remember to drag them back indoors when the weather starts to cool. Tidy up that pond The summer is the ideal time to tidy up a pond, scoop out algae, remove dead leaves and drag debris clear of the water. It shouldn’t take you long to clear the pond and it’ll look healthier and cleaner afterwards. Deadhead plants Don’t leave plants to their own devices. Water them, check them and make sure you deadhead them too, tidy up perennials throughout the summer season and they’ll be more eager to flower next year. Water regularly Keep one eye on pot plants and containers too. Left too long and they’ll start to wither and die. Check the level of moisture in potted plants, top up where necessary and ensure the pots are draining free, prevent over-watering just leave the soil nice and damp.
