Gardeners hunt snails at night to protect plants

Gardeners are advised to conduct nighttime snail hunts to protect plants from damage during June. This unusual task involves searching for snails and slugs in the evening, especially after rain, to remove them from gardens. These pests are most active at night and can quickly devour young plants. Other June gardening tasks include lifting tulip bulbs, pruning wisteria, supporting tall perennials, and removing weeds. Softwood cuttings and care for container displays are also recommended.
