I’m a royal gardener, important task will help your plants adapt to the heat and when it’s time for the ‘Chelsea chop’
IT’S not just us humans that need to adapt to the warmer weather, the plants in your garden will need to adjust too.
With temperatures soaring across the UK this weekend, former royal gardener Jack Stooks has opened up to Genting Casino about the hot weather jobs that could save your plot.
Jack – who previously worked for King Charles at Highgrove for over two decades – also shares insight into the ‘Chelsea Chop’ method, and why it’s important for maintaining plants.
Read on to discover how to get your garden summer-ready…
Plant feeding
In June, much of the focus will be on staking plants and keeping them well watered.
You might also start feeding your pot plants around this time, as you’ll likely notice things beginning to grow in the pots.
When to water
As we’ve had fairly dry weather in recent weeks, it’s important to water your garden either in the mornings or evenings.
The plants aren’t yet at the stage where you’re supporting them with stakes – for example, all the roses in my garden are still quite low – so they may struggle in the heat.
I’d avoid overwatering, as the goal is to help the plants adapt to having less water.
That said, you still need to water them, otherwise they’ll just die. The main priority is making sure everything is well watered.
The ‘Chelsea Chop’
Around this time of year is normally what gardeners refer to as the Chelsea Chop, which is when certain herbaceous plants get a little bit big and you have to chop them down.
This helps them come back a lot bushier and helps to control the size of the plant, shape, and flowering time.
In weather like this, it’s often not necessary, as the plants haven’t grown as much – but it an important task to be aware of.
Gardening mistakes that could get you fined
Gardening experts over at Toolstation have revealed the garden laws you need to be aware of not breaking.
While some of these laws could land you with a fine of up to £20,000 in extreme cases, a friendly chat with your neighbours can usually resolve any issues.
Tree removal and pruning: If you have a tree in your garden you want to get rid of you better think twice and do your research.
The gardening experts reveal: “If one neighbour wishes to remove or heavily prune a tree that the other neighbour values, disputes can arise over the impact on the view, shade, or privacy. “
While it might cause a row, if it is in your property boundary it is ultimately your choice, unless it has a Tree Protection Order on it.
“But, some trees may be protected by a Tree Protection Order which makes it an offence to uproot, top or destroy them, the experts warn.
The maximum fine for breaking this law is £20,000, so make sure you double check if it does have a TPO.
You can find out by contacting your local council for a map that shows this information. Alternatively, you can ask to speak with your local tree officer.
Property boundaries and fences: One of the main causes of neighbours falling out is through arguing over property boundaries and fencing.
To avoid this situation, the gardening pros recommend checking the deeds of your property to determine the correct boundaries
“Most of the time, it’s easy to determine who owns the fence as the fence posts will usually be on the owners side,” they add.
“Additionally, the height of fences or hedges can cause disputes between neighbours if one party feels the height has exceeded the two metre guidance.
“Hedges and fences should be no more than two metres high, and you could be asked by the council to take them down if a neighbour complains about the height.
“Luckily, standard fence sizes are less than two metres tall so you shouldn’t have a problem.”
Garden structures and additions: A pergola is the perfect addition to a garden if you want somewhere to relax in the shade.
But if it obstructs your neighbour’s view or violates local building regulations it could cause a dispute, as can sheds and other garden structures.
“If you’re not sure, have a chat with your neighbours to let them know what you’re planning and, if there’s an issue, get in touch with your local council who can give you more guidance,” advise the gardening experts.
Overhanging branches and plants: “When branches, vines, or roots from one neighbour’s tree or plant extend into the neighbouring property, it can lead to disagreements over potential damage to structures, blocked views, or the burden of maintenance,” reveal the pros.
However, it’s important to note you can only trim overhanging branches up to the boundary of your property otherwise, it could be seen as trespassing.
You can climb into the tree to carry out the work if needed, but only on your property and make sure to stay on your side of the fence if you don’t have permission to enter your neighbours garden.
‘Dark cloud’ hangs over community after teenage boy dies off Meath coast after going missing while swimming
A “dark cloud” hangs over a community in Co Meath after a teenage boy died off the coast of Laytown on Friday.
Condolences have been offered to the family of the teenager for their “devastating loss”, local representatives said.
Emergency services launched a search operation after receiving a report of a male in difficulty in the water at Laytown at 6.15pm on Friday.
The body of a male was removed from the water by the coastguard, gardai said.
He was pronounced dead at the scene and removed to Navan Hospital, where a post-mortem examination is due to take place.
Condolences have been shared with the boy’s family in the wake of the tragedy.
Minister of State and Meath East TD Thomas Byrne said it was “devastating to hear of the tragic death of a teenage boy” in Laytown.
“My heart goes out to his family, friends, all those who were around Laytown tonight, and all who are grieving,” he said on X.
“A summer moment has turned into an incalculable loss.”
Independent councillor Carol Lennon said it was “a devastating loss” for his family and friends.
“Thinking of those who were present, those who assisted with his recovery and those for whom this will trigger emotions of their own loss,” she said in a Facebook post.
Councillor Sharon Tolan said “a dark cloud” was hanging over the community on Friday night.
“My thoughts and prayers are with everyone affected by the tragic accident in Laytown,” she said on Facebook.
“Please think long and hard before posting any commentary on any social media pages.”
Gardai confirmed yesterday they were also involved in the operation.
A garda spokesperson said: “Gardai and emergency services are currently engaged in a search operation in the Laytown area of Co. Meath.
“As this is an ongoing incident, no further information is available.”
They have since asked the public not the share footage of the tragic incident.
It comes after an unrelated incident in Derry earlier this afternoon in which a man’s body was discovered on a beach.
It is understood the man got into difficulty swimming in the sea at Castlerock beach during the scorching weather.
Galway United shock St Patrick’s Athletic in Premier Division on another disappointing night for Stephen Kenny’s men
AFTER being Shels-shocked at home on Monday, Stephen Kenny and St Pat’s were stunned by Galway United in Eamonn Deacy Park.
The home team won all the battles around the park and could have had more in a rampant first half.
They got big performances all over the pitch. Evan Watts, Jeannot Eusa and Patrick Hickey have all impressed this year and were excellent on a brilliant night for their team.
If it was Galway’s best night of 2025, it must have been the worst of a disappointing season for Pat’s.
They looked out of it after only 11 minutes. Two howlers from the visitors gave United a dream start.
Keeper Watts bombed a kickout 80 yards.
It was a pass to Ed McCarthy who was all on his own — and he shot home with class for 1-0 after two minutes.
David Hurley did his best David Beckham impression for the second.
Joseph Anang botched a clearance. It fell at the Cork man’s feet and he curled from 60 yards into an empty net.
It could have been worse as the home team dominated and came close again and again.
Pat’s finally settled and Mason Melia brought a brilliant save from Watts.
Two minutes later, Simon Power finished a lovely move with a classy finish to give the Inchicore side hope.
But it was short-lived. A quality corner from Hurley was nodded in by Rob Slevin in the 35th minute.
The Tribe deserved the two-goal lead.
Saints were better in the second half. Seán Hoare brought calm when he came on.
Power started to get on top of Esua, a hard thing to do.
Melia thought he did enough to win a penalty. So did the Pat’s bench but the man that mattered, Rob Harvey, waved play on.
Brandon Kavanagh and Chris Forrester came off the bench. Both looked lively.
Kavanagh lined up a couple of frees from the edge of the box in the last ten minutes. Watts saved both. The second save was outstanding.
From the corner that followed, the young Welsh stopper saved brilliantly again.
Even though Kenny’s men got seven additional minutes to chase a goal, United were the ones who attacked.
And they saw it out easily for a big three points.

Sir Alex Ferguson quickly bounces back from Man Utd axe as alternative venture secures him more than a year’s earnings
SIR ALEX FERGUSON is still earning a pretty penny, despite being ruthlessly axed from his lucrative role at Manchester United.
The legendary manager was the biggest casualty of Sir Jim Ratcliffe‘s ruthless cost-cutting spree last season.
Fergie was axed from his multi-million-pound ambassadorial role with the club, with the sacking coming into effect at the end of the season.
That decision from INEOS bigwig Ratcliffe saw the Scot wave goodbye to a whopping £2.1million a year salary.
But the 83-year-old won’t be strapped for cash thanks to a business venture he embarked upon over FOUR DECADES ago.
Fergie‘s personal company, ACF Sports Promotions Limited, recorded profits of £2.7m last year, taking its total assets to £26.9m.
That figure is up from £24.2m the previous year, although it’s not known if the £2.1m Ferguson received from United was paid into the account.
ACF is the company that handles all of Fergie‘s commercial activities, including speaking appearances.
Fergie stepped down from his role as company director in 2014, handing over the reins to his son Mark.
The healthy bank balance of ACF, which was up 42 YEARS AGO, means Fergie won’t have to worry about losing his ambassador’s role with United.

Fergie axe comes at the right time - and he knows it
By Phil Thomas
IT is over a decade since he left the dugout but Sir Alex Ferguson has lost none of his sense of timing.
When to sell, when to buy, when to change and ultimately when to go, Fergie has always been in a class of his own.
Over the years there were countless decisions which had everyone scratching their head — but Sir Alex always knew the time was right.
Some were more obvious than others. Like the night Manchester United won the Treble on the back of his substitutions.
Others less so, like the summer of 1995 when terrace legends Mark Hughes, Paul Ince and Andrei Kanchelskis were sold at the peak of their powers.
The whole of football thought the manager had lost his marbles.
But Fergie knew better, as he chose that year to unleash his “you win nothing with kids” Double heroes.
Just as he knew best when it came to right-hand men.
Brian Kidd, Steve McClaren, Archie Knox and Co — an endless list of world-class coaches who all came and went.
And, of course, the biggest decision of all. Calling time on 26 years in which he had gone from the brink of the bullet to English football’s greatest-ever gaffer.
The majority of people are convinced Ferguson stepped down because he knew United’s era of dominance was over.
Maybe not the nosedive to come but certainly that an almighty rebuild was just around the corner. Another mass overhaul, yet not one he was prepared to oversee.
Now another end has arrived. Not as dramatic or as out-of-nowhere, admittedly, but an end nonetheless.
Next summer Fergie will leave his 12-year role as global ambassador. Many see it as the most ruthless swing of Sir Jim Ratcliffe’s cost-cutting axe — and they are wrong.
For while he is trying to save every penny in making United great again — how’s that going, Sir Jim? — Ferguson has not suddenly and callously been told he is surplus to requirements.
This decision was a two-way call. An amicable parting. Football’s own conscious uncoupling, in Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow lingo.
And not, incidentally, a departure which means we will no longer see Fergie at Old Trafford on a matchday.
That simply will not happen. He will still be there rain, wind or shine . . .
Only now as a high-profile non-executive director, rather than a man with the ear — and the sway — behind the owners’ biggest decisions.
Like he was when urging United to re-sign Cristiano Ronaldo in 2021.
Admittedly not his finest hour, rather an indication of the influence he still retained.
Back then, until just before Ratcliffe and his Ineos team arrived, in fact, Ferguson had the owners’ ear. Almost a hotline to the Glazer family, you could say.
And those days are done.
Not that Sir Alex is bereft at the thought. For a start, some of the staff sackings have enraged the Scot — long-serving photographer John Peters and kitman Alec Wylie, for example.
This is not a cosy-cosy relationship with Ratcliffe being severed.
If anything, it is closer to the opposite. And as Fergie the Red, in every sense The Boss — those who played under him still call him that — knows, trousering £2million or so a year in such tight times is not a good look.
Fair enough, not an amount anyone would turn down in normal circumstances.
Yet when many in the steerage class are losing their livelihoods, it is not something that would have sat well with him.
There is also the practical side of things as well.
At the end of December, Sir Alex will be 83 years old, albeit still a freakishly fit 83 years old.
Yet even though the grey matter remains oh-so-sharp and the mind clear as a bell, the bones grow creakier and even Superman had to put his feet up on occasion.
That does not mean you will not see shots of Fergie alongside Ratcliffe at various points — Sir Jim loves too much the associated glamour of being pictured with the greatest.
But any idea of Sir Alex having an emperor’s thumbs-down power has gone for good — and quite frankly that is something which suits both sides.
Fergie was given the role after bringing about his legendary 26-and-a-half-year reign at Old Trafford in 2013.
He was paid just shy of £26m for his post-managerial gig, which Ratcliffe and Co. deemed to be an unnecessary expense.
In an interview with the BBC in March, Ratcliffe said of the cost-cutting, which has resulted in hundreds losing their jobs, We have got a club which was in a level of financial difficulty.
“Manchester United would have run out of cash by the end of this year — by the end of 2025 — after having me put $300m (£232.72m) in and if we buy no new players in the summer.
“If we hadn’t have implemented the cost programmes and restructuring that we have done over the last 12 months.
“So we have to deal with all those things, and there’s only so many things you can deal with at once.
“We have a new management team, we have to deal with the financial restructure, then we have to move on to the squad, data analysis, and moving forward.
“But we are in the process of change and it’s an uncomfortable period and disruptive and I do feel sympathy with the fans.
“But I am not actually surprised where we are in the league because Ruben’s only got a certain size of squad he can deal with, and quite a number of those players are injured or not available to him.”

Love Islander sparks concern after ‘going missing’ in Friday night’s episode
LOVE Island fans have expressed huge concern after one star appeared to “go missing” during the latest explosive episode.
Viewers of the ITV2 matchmaking series joked they would be “filing a missing person” report after her seeming no-show on Friday.
Love Island loyals are now branding Alima Gagigo, 23, a “supporting character.”
It came as Harry Cooksley took the spotlight during the latest hour-long episode, after he admitted he was “faking” his feelings for Shakira Khan.
Meanwhile Tommy Bradley was seen kissing two girls – leaving his partner Megan fuming.
US bombshell Toni Laites was also seen locking horns with newbie Emily in further explosive scenes.
Yet when Alima appeared to go off radar, fans took to X to comment.
One wrote of the personal banker: “Has anyone seen Alima? she’s never seen with the girls, or with Remell and the other boys… WHERE IS SHE??? do we have to file a missing person?”
A second posted: “Nah it’s like Remell and Alima are like supporting characters they vanish as soon as they come on my screen.”
A third added: “Guys…where TF is Alima????”
One then mused: “I see the girls and their different friend groups – where the f**k is Alima?”
FAN FEAR
It came just days after loyal show fans predicted doom for the Glasgow-born TV star.
Alima is coupled up with 24-year-old bombshell Remell Mullings.
Despite recent tensions, a U-turn saw them share a passionate kiss.
However, show alums Amy Hart and Indiyah Polack had earlier predicted things could go awry for the couple.
Speaking on their Love Island: Morning After podcast, Amy said: “Thing is as well, with Remell and Alima, most people can count, right?

“You go in the villa and there’s more boys than girls. Which means that boys will be at risk.
“So, I need to find a girl – and I’m not saying that Alima was an easy option.
“She’s a beautiful girl with a beautiful heart and she’s amazing.”
Continuing, Amy remarked how Remell “didn’t even speak to anyone else” and observed her bond with Blu wasn’t the strongest.
She added: “He saw her and was like, ‘That’s my target’ and then now he’s wanting to kiss people in the challenge.
“I just think, on paper, it looks like Remell came straight in for Alima, went for her and now they’re in a couple.
“Whereas it’s not all those things.”
The villa couple previously butted heads when Remell kissed anyone but his partner in a challenge.
Alima told him: “I think you were so disrespectful, I’m not gonna lie…do you feel like you did everything right?”
Their conversation continued, as Alima added: “You say you like me and do things that just don’t match, it’s worse you can’t even take accountability…maybe we’re not compatible…”
Beautiful beach-side all-inclusive hotel, with stunning swim-up rooms, fabulous food and incredible cocktails
WHEN you choose to slip a descriptive adjective into a name, you’d better make sure everything lives up to the billing.
The late, great MARVELOUS Marvin Hagler fought his corner as undisputed middleweight boxing champion.
Footballer BRIGHT Osayi-Samuel justified his name to star under Jose Mourinho at Fenerbahce in Turkey.
So when we headed for the Sherwood EXCLUSIVE Kemer on Turkey’s Mediterranean, we had high hopes.
Fortunately, it did produce the X-Factor and completely live up to its lavish title.
The trip to the Sherwood Exclusive Kemer began with a direct flight from Glasgow to Antalya before an hour-long transfer from the airport.
We’d stayed in the town of Kemer in the past but this was definitely a step up in class.
Located right on the beach in Goynuk — just outside Kemer — it had everything for a relaxing break for couples or families.
The difference from the rest? What marked it down as truly Exclusive?
Well, the design and layout of the gorgeous hotel is the first thing that struck my wife Fiona and I. It’s not some high-rise city hotel with balconies in the clouds.
The Sherwood Exclusive has an airy reception and lobby bar to greet you on arrival. Rooms are located in three-storey buildings dotted around luscious, green grounds.
Our accommodation was on the ground-floor, a swim-up room with plush sun loungers just outside the patio doors and a short step into the very inviting pool.
The pools are located all around the grounds, and are all equipped with pool bars for residents. The main pool is close to the hotel’s seafront boardwalk and served by a huge pool bar.
Espresso Martinis were the afternoon cocktail of choice here. Only once the sun was over the yardarm, you understand.
The beach — 500 metres of sand and pebble for hotel residents only — is just a short walk away sitting in the shadow of the imposing Taurus Mountains.
No interruptions, no one trying to flog you anything. Just you, your book and maybe a cocktail or two.
Comfy sun loungers line the Sherwood Exclusive’s private beach and, of course, all are served by a beach bar.
For the really adventurous, you can stride out to the hotel’s own pier and — again — it has a bar over the water for those catching the rays.
The weather was much better than we’d expected in late April. It was in the low 20s with just one spot of rain in the middle of our week-long stay.
But having holidayed in the area in high summer in years gone by — both Kemer and Lara Beach — you’re virtually guaranteed dawn to dusk blistering sunshine during June, July, August and September.
Fiona’s day would begin at 9am with yoga. Mine began with yoghurt. Normally accompanied by fresh fruit and granola.
Plus a little something from the hot buffet. Well, the friendly staff in the kitchen worked so hard that I didn’t want to disappoint them.
And here’s another aspect of the place which backed up their EXCLUSIVE name.
This was the BEST buffet we’ve experienced on our travels to Turkey. A huge selection, fresh fruit and salads, different and varied main course options and delicious sweet treats.
But perhaps most importantly for Fiona — a Gluten-free diner — there were loads of options and everything was well marked with that crucial ‘GF’ seal of approval.
Buffet aside, there are four a la carte restaurants to satisfy every taste.
The Waribashi Far East restaurant offers an Asian flavour, while the Mama Cocha caters for seafood lovers.
But when in Kemer, we just had to try the Turquoise restaurant which offered local flavours from Turkish starter platters through delicious kebabs to the pastry, nut and honey sensation known as baklava.
We also dined at the Basilico Italian restaurant during our stay. The Chicken Parmigiana is to be recommended!
And, once again, the Exclusive tag came to prominence at the Basilico when the chef specially cooked the Parmigiana to his own GF recipe for Fiona.
With the belt feeling tighter by the day, it seemed sensible to attempt some athletic pursuit during our Turkish travels.
Yes, the on-site waterpark and splash park were great. And, in the interests of this feature, I felt compelled to have a go.
Let’s just say those flumes were a little too racy for a 53-year-old with a bad back and a diminishing sense of adventure . . .
Another bottle of Efes from the all-inclusive bar was required to calm my nerves. Medicinal purposes only, of course.
All the kids around the hotel seemed to love the flumes, though, and the presence of ANOTHER eatery right next to the waterparks (serving delicious pizza, burgers and snacks) meant they never had to stray far from the excitement.
Aside from the watery delights, there was everything available from tennis, aerobics, water-skiing, basketball, water aerobics and even darts.
The airy gym is also equipped with everything you need. But the pace of our break seemed far more suited to the Amon Spa, with its hammam and beauty treatments.
Pack off your kids for face painting or other pursuits while you relax and get some well- deserved pampering.
GO: TURKEY
GO: SHERWOOD EXCLUSIVE KEMER
GETTING/STAYING THERE: A week all-inclusive at the 5H Sherwood Exclusive Kemer is from £1,289pp leaving Glasgow on July 7 See loveholidays.com.
MORE INFO: For all you need to know about the hotel and bookings see sherwoodhotels.com.tr.
If retail therapy is your thing, though, you could either stroll into Goynuk’s little shopping centre or head into Kemer. The bus stops right outside the Sherwood Exclusive and costs just £2 each way.
While many head to Antalya for new hair or teeth (no, I didn’t), there are also plenty who love the Turkish shopping scene for, er, ‘designer gear’.
We were sent with a shopping list by our daughter, Katie. And, of course, everything we brought her back was authentic.
But back to the real authentic and EXCLUSIVE element of this holiday.
It’s always the little touches which make your break special. Like wandering into the shade to the hotel’s all-inclusive coffee shop, ice cream parlour or waffle house.
Like the little calls from guest relations to make sure everything is to your liking.
Like the beachfront towel huts where you can grab the fluffiest, thickest towels for your spot on the pier.
The Sherwood Exclusive was established just 11 years ago but already it’s a jewel in the heart of Goynuk.
With 492 rooms spread across its vast grounds, it offers a perfect holiday experience amid nature and stunning sea views.
Just eating outside in the month of April was a special treat.
It was marvellous, it was magnificent. You could even say it was EXCLUSIVE.
