With summer fast approaching, now is the perfect time to begin planning what you will grow in your garden for this warmer, brighter and happier time of the year. There is nothing better than tending to your backyard in summer, and then relaxing surrounded by your crop and soaking up some sun.

What to Grow

There are also many fantastic things that you can grow in these months, including delicious, colourful and attractive summer fruits. This includes strawberries, raspberries, blackcurrants, peaches, watermelons, blueberries and various other types of summer fruits. You can also plant fruit trees if space permits. These fruits vary in difficulty, but most will be able to grow them in their garden with a little guidance online, as well as patience and maintenance.

The Reward

Many people find growing these tasty summer fruits much more rewarding than growing vegetables as they look so bright and fresh, plus they are sure to taste far superior when you know that they are the product of your care and hard work. If you have little ones, it is a great way to encourage them to eat healthily and you could encourage them to help you in the garden.

Tips for Good Growth

So, how can you ensure that you have a successful season of growing sumptuous summer fruits? Unsurprisingly, these fruits crave lots of sunshine and soil that retains good drainage. When picking your plot, it should be the place in your backyard which receives the most sunshine. If you are struggling to find space, you may find it best to grow fruits in hanging baskets or containers.

 Regardless of what you are growing, it is crucial that the plot of land is well looked after. You will need maximum sunlight, zero weeds, rich soil and regular watering. To protect your crop from any winds and to keep out any pesky insects or animals, you should invest in a polytunnel from a specialist like Premier Polytunnels. You will then  need to closely follow the instructions for the particular fruit that you are growing.

Bring Colour and Life to your Garden

Before long, your summer fruits will begin to grow and add plenty of colour and life to your backyard. Tending to your crop each day is a great way to get out and enjoy the sunshine, plus you will also be rewarded for all your hard work once it is time to harvest. Fruit always tastes better when you have grown in yourself, plus you will find that many summer fruits can be used to create all kinds of amazing and tantalising desserts in the kitchen.
