Mowing and Trimming
- Reduce mowing as the rush of early summer growth peaks.
- Keep lawn edges trimmed for a neat line to borders.
- Regular mowing should be maintained for a neater and easier-to-mow lawn.
Fertilizing and Weed Control
- Apply high-nitrogen lawn fertilizer if the grass is pale and tired-looking, ideally when rain is on the way and the ground is damp to prevent scorching.
- Apply lawn weedkiller in good growing weather if needed; however, do not apply weedkiller if you want to grow a wildflower lawn.
- Lawn weedkillers work well in warm weather if the soil is moist.
Watering and Recovery
- Lawns on light soil may suffer during a dry spell but will recover with adequate moisture.
- If grass isn’t growing well despite rain, apply some fertilizer to improve growth.
Seeding
- Sow seeds of wallflowers for planting out in autumn.
