As the temperatures soar, it can be all too tempting to head into the garden, set up a paddling pool, whack on the SPF and sit out in the sunshine all day while keeping cool.
Taking care of your plants may fall by the wayside, however, but the heatwave could spell disaster for your garden as the warm weather impacts them too.
Your first thought may be to water your beloved flowers and bushes during the day, but this can actually wreak havoc on your garden, causing plants to scorch which is not good for them, and can even cause them to perish.
