This is ‘be kind to your street tree
week’ and you are expected to water your fledgling street tree if you have one. Soil
moisture stress is at its highest this week, so even a few litres would be most welcome.

Your "Tiger Lilies" have probably
finished flowering and the black bulbets on the stems are starting to swell, so if you
brush those off, your underground bulbs will swell bigger for next year, creating larger
blooms.

You can summer trim your roses this week and have them back flowering in full bloom in
just eight weeks, that’s a week after Easter. Now a trim, means a removal of up to
one third of the canopy and given the height of some local bushes, that’s quite a bit
of foliage.
