\nYou\u2019ll have an over-eager list of instructions to follow, but if in doubt follow these golden rulesAh, the great British summer. Perhaps you\u2019re lucky enough to escape it all with a holiday, or maybe you\u2019re staying at home and have volunteered to look after someone else\u2019s garden.

If not, these are the crucial ones: if it\u2019s been dry, water the containers, the veg patch and the roses; don\u2019t go mad watering the beds or the lawn. Make sure you\u2019re watering the soil, rather than the leaves, and do so either in the morning or the evening \u2013 anything done in the middle of the day will evaporate before it hits the roots.
